Man arrested for allegedly sod%mizing his neighbour’s 9-yr-old son in Jigawa

Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, have arrested a 23-year-old man, Isyaku Lawal, for allegedly sod%mizing a 9-year-old neighbour’s son in Jigawa state.

It was gathered that the suspect took his 9-year-old victim to an uncompleted building in Chiromari village, Malam Madori Local Government, and sod%mized him, promising to buy him a sweet if he didn’t tell anyone.

However, when the suspect did not keep to the promise, the victim reported what happened to his elder sister.

Confirming the incident, NSCDC spokesman, Jigawa state command, CSC Adamu Shehu said the suspect was arrested on Wednesday, June 14, when the father of the victim reported the matter to the NSCDC.

“According to the father, his daughter, an elder sister to the victim, reported to him that her sibling was s+xually ab¥sed by the suspect.

Upon questioning, the boy stated that he was taken to an isolated place in the evening while he was playing alongside his friends by the suspect who rem%ved his trousers and had carnal knowledge of him, thereafter urged him not to tell anyone and promised to buy him sweets, a promise which he failed to fulfill and which made him expose the incident to his sister.

Medical examinations conducted at S+xual A$$ault Referral Centre (SARC) at General Hospital Dutse showed repeated rectal penetrations and br¥ises in the an@l area of the victim.

The suspect confessed to the crime and would be charged to a court of competent jurisdiction,” he said.
