NSCDC Arrests 4 for ‘rape’ in Minna

Minna

Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Niger state Command, has arrested four men for allegedly raping a 19-year-old girl in Barkin Sale, Chanchaga Local Government Area.
The Corps Commandant, Mr Philip Ayuba, who made this known, yesterday in Minna, named the suspects as: Mohammed Surajo, 21; Shafi Mohammed, 19; Mohammed Abubakar, 19; and Musa Iiya, 16.
Ayuba said that the suspects confessed to committing the crime, noting that the suspects alleged that the victim refused to comply with a demand from one of them which prompted them to rape her.
He said the corps had already handed over the case to the state ministry of justice for prosecution, however, adding that the corps would follow up the case to its logical conclusion.
The commandant tasked community leaders and residents to be security conscious as well as caution their children and wards against walking alone in isolated areas.
