Members of Ngwalam village in Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State were shocked, when the news broke that one of the residents, Ahmadu Idris, a 42-year-old husband of two wives, was caught defiling an underaged girl.
Idris arrested by the police for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl.
The man was reported to have lured the minor who sells clothing materials by asking her to take the materials to his wives. Father of the victim, Mallam Musa Abubakar, explained that immediately his daughter entered the suspect’s house, he directed her to proceed to his second wife’s apartment where he forcefully had carnal knowledge of her after he allegedly threatened to kill her if she resisted his moves.
Abubakar added that the suspect’s second wife came back home and caught them in the act and she reacted by screaming, thereby attracting the attention of neighbours.
The matter was reported to the ward head of Ngwalam, who advised them to move to the police station in Numan town.
The Public Relations Officer of the Adamawa State Police Command, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, confirmed that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Numan Local Government Area brought the matter to the police headquarters in Yola.
