A 40-year-old unnamed man has been arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, in Borno State, for allegedly raping a 13-year-old Internally Displaced Person from Chibok in Borno State.
The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim, disclosed on Thursday, August 25, 2016, that the 13-year-old victim from Chibok, was staying with her aunt at the Colori Camp.
Ibrahim said the suspect was arrested in Dala area of the state capital.
He said the suspect lured the victim with some money and took her to a house in Colori ward behind the NNPC quarters, where he raped her for two days, reports the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN.
“The suspect held the victim hostage for two days in his house. After intensive search by the command, the girl was later found with the culprit,” Ibrahim said.
The commandant condemned the increasing rate of domestic abuses, ranging from defilement to rape in the state.
“The culprits usually take advantage of the poor living condition of their victims and abuse them.
“We are, therefore, appealing to all good citizens of Borno State to always report any suspicious activities that can cause havoc in the society,” Ibrahim said.
