The Yobe State Police Command has arrested one Idriss Yakubu, 25, a commercial tricycle rider from Shengele village in Fune LGA of the state, for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dingus Abdulkarim, said the suspect reportedly lured the victim into the bush and raped her, adding that he confessed to the crime during investigation.
In a separate incident, four suspects were apprehended by the A Divisional Police Headquarters for criminal conspiracy, theft and other related vices.
The suspects, identified as Abubakar Barnawa (28), Mohd Modu (20), Umar Mustapha (18) and Musa Hassan (19), allegedly used a tricycle with a false registration number to conceal their identity and evade arrest.
They were arrested following a swift response to a trader’s report of fraud, as an investigation is ongoing, adding that the suspects will face prosecution thereafter.
