A 12-year-old girl has told Jigawa State Police Command how a 57-year-old man and 11 others turned her into a sex-machine. “They hid me, repeatedly had sex with me and gave me peanuts,” she alleged.
The BBC Hausa Service said in a report monitored by Vanguard on Monday that the Jigawa State Police Command in Northwest Nigeria, have since arrested the culprits.
According to the report, the 12-year-old was serially raped for a period of two months.
Operatives of the police command had taken the girl for medical examination where it was confirmed that she had been raped.
An investigation into the matter was still going on. This was coming on the heels of the gruesome murder of two ladies in separate incidences.
A 22-year-old Uwavera Omozuwa was murdered with a fire extinguisher.
According to the report, on Wednesday last week, the 22-year-old student of microbiology went to Redeem Church near her university where she was found later in a pool of blood.
It was within that week also that confusion arose with the police as a result of the gruesome murder of a 16-year-old girl, Tina Ezekwe in Lagos.
According to the authorities, two operatives have since been arrested in connection with the incidence.
