The Kano State Police Command has arrested a 40-year-old man, Nuruddeen Abubakar, for allegedly raping his 14-year-old daughter.
Spokesperson for the Command DSP Magaji Musa Majia,
disclosed this on Tuesday, August 15th, while parading Abubakar
alongside other suspects. Read his statement below.
“Offences in relation to child abuse are on the increase
despite multiple efforts by the Police Command, sister security
Agencies, NGOs and relevant Stakeholders.
It is alarming to see the persistent cases of rape, incest
and unnatural offences clamoring up to an unprecedented level. From the
1st of August to date, 34 cases were recorded, which in essence is
translating to an alarming situation if efforts are not multiplied
against it.
In the light of this ugly development, it is necessary for
us to call on the general public especially parents, guardians,
teachers and other stakeholders to take firm stand on the general
activities of their wards who always turn out to be victims of such
dastardly acts.
Members of the community especially neighbours and
relations are also enjoined to keenly and closely look into their
neighbourhood with a view to detect any unruly behavior. This is
because, the attitudes of some parents, relations and family friends is
turning out to be shocking.
It is unimaginable to see a father taking advantage of his
biological daughter in the absence of her mother. Such instances are
where one Nuruddeen Abubakar 40yrs old of Unguwa Uku Qtrs Kano was found
to have raped his biological 14yrs old daughter who survived 3
abortions from him.
Also one Musbahu Ibrahim 25yrs old of Zangon Marikita Qtrs was arrested for severally raping his cousin sister.
In another related matter, one (Pastor) Samuel John of No.
26 Whether-head, Sabongari Kano was arrested for raping 13yrs old twin
sisters and their 11yrs younger one.
Also, one Dahiru Haruna and Hamza Lawan all of Sheka Qtrs
Kano conspired and act in an unnatural manner against their 9yrs old
male victim. All the suspects confessed to the commission of the crime.
From the 34 cases recorded, 35 suspects were arrested while
36 victims aged between 5-13yrs are involved. Presently, about 15
pending cases of sexual assault will be transferred to SCIID for
discreet investigation from various divisions.
The Command finally wishes to appeal to all and sundry
to put hands together and fight rape, incest, unlawful offence and other
heinous crimes evolving in the society.
