Suspected Serial Rapist Arrested For Defiling Minor In Sokoto

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Sokoto State has arrested a 30-year-old alleged serial rapist suspect.

 

The state Commandant of the NSCDC in Sokoto, Umar Musa-Bala, told newsmen on Monday, May 10, that the alleged suspect, Hamza Yusuf, defiled three minors.

 

“We received a distress call that, a serial rapist was arrested and was about to be lynched in Mabera area. We swiftly swung into action and rescued him from a mob who wanted to kill him and brought him to our office.

We were able to identify three of his victims who are all below the age of 10 and medical investigation proved defilement beyond the reasonable doubt,” Musa-Bala said

 

The NSCDC boss added that the suspect would be released on bail because of the ongoing strike by the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria.

''He must produce a surety that is well recognized in the society who will bring him to us on request” he said
