The Niger State Police Command have arrested a 22-year-old man identified as Chukwuebuka Nnaji, after he allegedly raped a girl, 13, in Madalla in the Suleja Local Government Area of the state. It’s understood the suspect lured the girl to a hotel at Madalla Junction after he claimed he had a gift for her.
However, on getting there, Nnaji forced his victim to an isolated area in the bush and raped her. The suspect , who is a shop attendant, said:
“I knew she is an underage girl; that was the reason why I have not impregnated her. I want her to be of age , so I can marry her”.
“I had sex with her because I wanted to deflower her but it has dawned on me that I was simply infatuated.”
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, the suspect has confessed to the crime during interrogation.
He will soon be arraigned in court.
