NSCDC arrests man in Nasarawa for allegedly raping 3-month-old baby
In a statement on Tuesday by
Ekunola Gbenga, the Media Assistant to the Commandant General ‘NSCDC’ said,
Ahmadu Yaro, 27 was arrested Tuesday, for sexually assaulted and brutally
injured a three-month old baby (names withheld).
‘’Yaro, the prime suspect of
Angwan Mai Angwa Muhammadu Madan Tara Adogi, was once arrested by the members
of the community about two years ago but the case was discharged without the
involvement of any security agency.
‘’On the 14th day of June,
2020 at about 1533hours on Sunday, we received an intelligence information that
a baby of three (3) months was sexually assaulted and brutally injured by
unknown person and was taken to the Dalhatu Arab Specialist Hospital (DASH)
Lafia on the 27th of May, 2020 at about 0300hours.
‘’After series of examination
at Dalhatu Arab Specialist Hospital, it was realized that her case is beyond
Dalhatu Arab Specialist Hospital and was referred to the Jos University
Teaching Hospital (JUTH) Plateau State dated 28th day of May, 2020.
Maimuna Adam, mother of the
victim explained that the incident occurred in the midnight of May 27, when the
family was asleep and the door to their room was left open due to heat being
experienced in the area.

“The incident occurred on
Wednesday 27 of last month when suddenly I woke up around 3am and found that my
baby was missing. I checked my phone which was also close to me before I slept,
but it was also missing,” the mother narrated.
Maimuna said soon after she realized
that something was wrong with her infant daughter, she began to shout and
people in the compound and others woke up to come to the aid of the family.
‘’She explained that when both
men and women of the village trooped into their compound, they went out in
search of the baby on foot and motorcycles, and ultimately the child was found
in an uncompleted building bleeding. “She was found lying in the building with
her pant kept aside. Everywhere across her private part was blood and then we
rushed her to the hospital, “ she added.
The Adogi Town have been
witnessing this series of devilish acts. This is the fifth attempt,
investigation revealed. The suspect testified that he had been involved in
several sexual abuses especially against babies in that community.
The Corps, however, assured
that the suspects would be arraigned in court as soon as investigation into the
case was completed. The Commandant General Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, therefore,
urged all parents and guardians to ensure close supervision and proper
attention to their wards to prevent unscrupulous elements from taking undue
advantage of the vulnerable ones. Gana also admonished youths to shun all
social vices such as rape, theft, cultism, vandalism, riot among others in the
good interest of the nation. I therefore, encourage Nigerians to be bold enough
to report any form of sexual assault or misbehaviours to the ‘Citizens’
Integrity Unit’, CIU of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC at any
of our formation across the nation.
