A High Court sitting in Bauchi State sentenced a 50-year-old man, Yusuf Bako, to life imprisonment for r+ping a 4-year-old girl inside a mosque.
Bako, who was earlier arrested in 2020, was accused of committing the hid£ous crime during the COVID-19 lockdown.
It was learnt that he had previously been jailed twice for similar r@p£ offenses.
This was disclosed by the Director of Public Prosecution, Barrister Sha’awanatu Yusuf, in a chat with journalists on Wednesday, December 27.
She said that the judgement was delivered by Justice Sa’ad Zadawa of High Court No.6 in late November this year after hearings from both sides of the case.
