Policeman

A suspected rapist has been alleged to have defiled a four-year-old girl in Kontagora area of Niger State, after forcefully abducting her from her parents while they all slept in front of their house due to the hot weather condition.

Arewa PUNCH gathered that when the parents woke up, they could not find the girl and thought she sleep-walked while they were asleep.

Their search for the missing girl yielded no results, as such, they raised an alarm which led their neighbours and other sympathisers to their aid.

Sources said it took several hours before a neighbour found the missing girl at a refuse dump site with blood running down her thigh.

Following this discovery, the rescue team suspected the worst and took her back to her father.

The girl’s father, Hudsaine Abubakar (not real names), granted Arewa PUNCH an interview wherein he narrated what actually happened.

According to him: “We were outside our house due to the heat, but I later told the family to go inside because the breeze had started blowing and before long I went into the house to sleep. Punch
