A 32-year-old man identified as Bashir Umar, has been arrested for allegedly luring an eight-year-old girl into a restroom, torturing and sexually assaulting her.
The Police Command spokesman, DSP Lawan Adam, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday, explained that Umar is from Galamawa town, Dutse Local Government Area of the state.
According to Adam, the suspect subjected the girl to unimaginable torture before sexually assaulting her in most heartless circumstances, saying that Umar inserted scissors and a spoon into the innocent girl’s private parts.
He added that the suspect injected some undisclosed substance into the private part of the girl, leaving her unconscious and bleeding profusely.
The Command spokesman lamented that the perpetrator exploited the girl’s vulnerability, offering her N150 and threatening to harm her and her parents if she disclosed the sexual abuse to anyone.
He further explained that Umar continued to terrorize and sexually assault the helpless girl using the same technique and silencing her with threats whenever he encountered her on her way to school.
He pointed out that following the sexual trauma, the victim suffered severe physical consequences, including urinary and stool-related complications, stressing that the survivor is currently at the Rashid Shekoni Teaching Hospital, Dutse, where she is admitted and receiving treatment.
Adam stated that the suspect has been arrested and transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Dutse, for discreet investigation.
