Man,40, arrested for allegedly raping a 10-year old girl


A 40-year old man, Muhammad Usman was arrested by the Borno Police Command for allegedly defiling a 10-year-old girl in Maiduguri.
While parading the suspect on thursday in Maiduguri, Mr Damian Chukwu, the Borno State Commissioner of Police, made the disclosure.

Chukwu said that the suspect was apprehended by detectives on June 10, at about 14: 30 p.m.

He said “The suspect has confessed to the act. He has told investigators that he had carnal knowledge of the girl at the Londonciki area of Maiduguri,” adding that the command was awaiting legal advice from the ministry of justice, before prosecuting the suspect.

Chukwu who expressed dismay over the spate of rape cases in the state, advised victims to always come forward and seek redress.
“People must change their attitude toward rape. Victims should report, while relations of suspects must stop making unnecessary pleas to save them.
“It is disheartening to see victims’ families asking the police to drop charges against rape suspects.

“Unless we change this attitude, we will continue to witness rapes in the society,” he said.

The commissioner said that the command had taken proactive measures to enhance its operation, protect lives and rid Borno of criminals 

He also said  that additional personnel had been deployed to Maiduguri and liberated areas to enhance security and in order to review and appraise the security situation, a conference would be held every month in the area.
