50-year-old man defiled 3-year-old girl in Minna Niger State

The Niger state Police Command has arrested a 50-year-old man, Adebayo Attahiru, for allegedly raping a three-year-old child. He was arrested and detained at the Paiko road police station, but was reportedly transferred to the state Police Headquarters for more interrogation. Meanwhile, an eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told newsmen that Attahiru raped the toddler when she was left sleeping on her mother’s bed, after the mother had gone to the market.

The eyewitness said, “Unknown to the woman that her neighbour had ulterior motive towards her baby, as soon as the woman left, Adebayo Attahiru sneaked into the room where the baby was sleeping and forcefully had sex with her.

“The cry of the little girl attracted other neighbours to the room where they met the girl in pain and blood splashed all over the room.

“Before neighbours could get to the room, the suspect ran away but neighbours caught him and handed him to the police.”
