The NGO, in a statement released to Journalists Wednesday evening, stated, “We are saddened by this unspeakable crime, which has left us all devastated.”

It stated that, “The brutal rape and murder of an innocent child is an indication of the alarming rate of sexual violence and impunity in our society.

“We, therefore, make demand the following: Bauchi State Police command intensify the investigation process, arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator(s) and Swift justice and severe penalties for the convicted”.

It further demanded strengthened laws and policies protecting children from sexual violence as well as support and protection for the victim’s family.
