Kwara state command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested a 28-year old man, Bello Muhammed, for alleged kidnap and sexual assault.
It was gathered that Mohammed with others on the run allegedly kidnapped and raped 15 years old Hajarat Ibraheem while in their captivity.
Spokesman of the civil defence corps in the state Babawale Afolabi said Muhammed conspired with two other suspects, who are still at large, to kidnap Hajarat in llale village, Oke Ero local government area of the state.
Afolabi said that the suspects dragged the victim to the bush, tied her hand and raped her severally.
“On Thursday, August 5, 2021, one Yakubu Kelani, 50, came to the NSCDC office in Omu Aran to report that his 15 years old daughter was kidnapped on her way to fetch water on July 29, 2021.
“The victim was taken into the bush where he was reportedly raped severally by her abductors who later got in touch with the family of the girl demanding for the sum of N15 million as ransom”.
The NSCDC spokesman said that the victim’s family paid some amount of money to the alleged kidnappers, who later released the victim.
He said that Muhammed was unlucky as he was picked up by a local vigilante at Kara market, Ajase lpo, Irepodun local government area of the state.
The vigilance group subsequently handed him over to the operatives of the NSCDC, he said.
He said that “during the interrogation, Muhammed confessed to having committed the crime with his two accomplices who are still at large.”
