The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Borno on
Thursday said that it had arrested a 40-year-old man for allegedly
raping an Internally Displaced Person (IDP).
Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim, NSCDC Commandant in the state, told the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri that the 13-year-old
victim from Chibok was staying with her aunt at the Colori Camp.
Ibrahim said that the suspect was arrested in Dala area of the state
capital. He said that 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.
“The suspect held the victim hostage for two days in his house.
After an 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 Borno.
“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 to
always report any suspicious activities that can cause havoc in the
society,’’ said Ibrahim.
