A family has been paraded by the Nigerian Police Force for allegedly robbing a 13-year-old girl of her property by beating her with hot water and pepper.
At the police headquarters in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state, this was revealed to journalists by the state’s commissioner of police, David Iloyanomon.
He claimed that on July 1, 2024, at Yorro Division, the state command received a complaint alleging that Bridget Samuel had been tortured by Bulus Bitonopa, causing her hands to become paralysed. In an attempt to hide the crime, Hon. Cleopas took Bridget Samuel to his Jalingo home, but he neglected to take her to the hospital and she resisted police intervention.
Following the act of torture, the 13-year-old girl may not be able to use both of her hands, according to information obtained during a visit to the Federal Medical Centre in Jalingo.
She claimed that two of her uncles bound her two hands together with a black rubber band, submerged them in a basin of hot water, and then mixed in sand and pepper.
She is falsely accused of robbing the uncle’s wife’s purse of ₦5,000.
She narrates, ” They tied me around 3:00 PM until around 11:00 AM the following day when another uncle of mine stepped in, untied me and took me to a nearby clinic for medical attention.
Meanwhile, at least 38 persons suspected to be kidnappers, armed robbery and illegal possession of firearms have been arrested by the police in the state.
A breakdown of the suspects and their involvements according to the police commissioner reveals that 12 out of the 38 suspects have been charged to court, with 26 others under investigation.
