A 45-year old Hausa petty trader, Mr. Abubakar Suleiman, has been sent to Kirikiri Prison for allegedly having carnal knowledge of three minors inside his shop at Shasha area of Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.
Two of the children aged 7 and 5 are from the same parents, while the last one is three years old.
It was gathered that Suleiman allegedly enticed the kids into a kiosk with biscuits and sweets and then defiled them.
Suleiman’s act was exposed when curious neighbours suspected there was strange movement of kids inside his kiosk. They moved in and discovered he was defiling the children.
As the children confessed that Suleiman defiled them, the neighbours raised the alarm, leading to his arrest.
The incident occurred at 7, Ifelodun Street, Shasha, while the case was reported at Idimu Police Command, Area ‘M’.
The suspect was arrested by the police but was later released as the culprit was said to be close to some powerful Hausa Serikis in the area.
It was after a Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO, Africa for Human Rights, AFRIRIGHTS, led by Comrade Afolabi Gbajumo intervened in the matter that the Area Commander ordered the re-arrest of Suleiman last Friday.
The NGO stormed the Area ‘M’ Police Division on Monday to spur the police to arraign the culprit in court.
