Mohammed Magaji, 47, has been taken into custody on charges of raping his stepdaughter, age 2, in the Magaji neighborhood of Tudun Wada, Shamaki Quarters, Gombe State.
DSP Buhari Abdullahi, the spokesperson for the Gombe State Police Command, said in a press release on Tuesday that the event happened on May 5.
According to Abdullahi, the arrest came about as a result of a report from Magaji’s wife.
“On May 5, about 09:32am, a formal complaint was received from one Hauwau Usman of Tudun Wada, Shamaki quarters.
“Usman reported that on May 5, about 09:00am, her husband took his two-year-old step daughter to his room and had unlawful carnal knowledge of her,” he said.
According to Abdullahi, a group of police officers was sent to the area after receiving the complaint, and the suspect was taken into custody right away.
Both the suspect and the victim were brought to the Specialist Hospital for a medical examination, he continued.
He said that after the inquiry is over, the case would be charged in court.
Isah Adamu, 35, of Golkos Quarters, Billiri Local Government Area, Gombe State, was also arrested by the Command in a separate incident for allegedly defiling a six-year-old girl.
On May 5, the suspect allegedly enticed the juvenile into a house in Awai Quarters where he allegedly got carnal knowledge of her by force, according to Abdullahi.
He claimed that after the victim’s mother informed the police about the occurrence, the officers hurried to the spot and took the suspect into custody.
The victim and the suspect were brought to Kaltungo’s General Hospital for a medical evaluation, he continued.
It is still an ongoing investigation, the police official said.
According to Abdullahi, the Command has effectively detained 18 more suspects in relation to a range of criminal activity that has been reported around the state in recent weeks. (Nan)
