The Plateau state command of the Nigerian police has made a harvest
of arrests of suspected rapists at different occasion and locations in
the state, sparking fear and anger among residents of the state.
The state commissioner of police, Chris Olakpe, made the disclosure at the Force headquarters on Wednesday in Jos, while briefing journalists on successes made by his command in reducing the crime rate in the state.
Mr. Olakpe said one of his team’s most shocking finds was the arrest of six men who jointly raped a 9-year-old. The police chief named the six alleged rapist as “Richard John 30, Zere Adams 28, Hamza Musa 20, Ugochukwu Rapheal 25, Emmanuel Ibrahim 25 and Sok Davou, still at large.
“They all conspired and raped a 9 year old girl and destroyed her private part,” Mr. Olakpe said.
Also arrested was one Abdullahi Adams, who allegedly colluded with seven other men to rape a 7 year old girl, injuring her severely in her private part.
“One Abdullahi Adams, aged 31, lured one Halima Saidu aged 7 years into his room, tied her hands, gagged her mouth and rape her,” the police commissioner said. “As a result of this, the said victim sustained injuries in her private part and is undergoing treatment. The suspect confessed to the crime.”
A herbalist, one Emmanuel Bala of Rim village, Royom local government, was also arrested and paraded for allegedly inducing and raping one Evelyn Ezekiel, who sought traditional treatment from him. Another group of rapists paraded during the press briefing were Adamu and Hamza Musa who allegedly conspired and raped a neighbour’s daughter, the police said. The two suspects admitted to the crime, Mr. Olakpe said.
Mr. Olakpe also disclosed that luck ran out of two notorious motorcycle snatchers – Andrew David and Stephen Davou – who in the process of stealing a bike killed a motorcyclist in Barkinladi local government area.
