Usaini Magaji, a 30-year-old man, has been taken into custody by Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Jigawa State Command agents for reportedly r@ping a 7-year-old in the state’s Kaugama Local Government Area.

ASC Badruddeen Tijjani Mahmud, the state’s Corps spokesman, revealed this information in a statement on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. She stated that the minor was approached by the suspect as she attempted to relieve herself at a neighboring farm.

Mahmud claims that the woman was s*xually molested by the suspect, who also threatened to slash her throat with a knife if she notified anyone.

“The suspect was arrested following a complaint lodged at the NSCDC Divisional office by the father of the victim who reported that his wife (mother of the victim) called his attention while he was at work to informed him that his daughter came back home crying and bleeding from her private area when she went out to ease herself in a nearby area.

“Upon hearing that, he said he left what he was doing at the moment and rushed back home where he interrogated his daughter who told him that it was Usaini that took advantage of her while she was trying to ease herself at a nearby farm and threatened to cut her throat with a knife if she ever revealed anything to anyone.

“Upon his arrest and subsequent interrogation, the suspect confessed to have put his manhood into the private part of the young girl and had canal knowledge of her to satisfy his s@xual desire.

“Medical examinations conducted on the victim at the Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) in Dutse General Hospital indicate recent penetration, breakage of hymen and bruises around the vaginal area.
