Adamawa State Police Command on Tuesday, June 6, 2023 apprehended 35 years old paedophile for defiling five minors between the ages of 8 and 14 in Bachure, Yola North local government area.
The suspect, Wilson Sunday, a resident of Damilu in Yola North, allegedly started the predatory act in January 2023.
The pedophile allegedly lured his victims, mostly on their way to or from school, to abandoned buildings away from the public glare to take advantage of them.
In statement released by the command public relations officer SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje he noted that the incident was reported to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Kofare by the parents of the survivors having observed the unrepentant attitude of the suspect.
Preliminary investigation so far reveals that the suspect is a father of two and now living alone after the separation with his wife.
Investigation further reveals that the accused was once convicted for a similar offence.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Afolabi Babatola expressed worry over the unfortunate incident and directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of CID to take over the investigation and ensure diligent prosecution.
Similarly, 22 Years old Raphael Peter, a resident of Bulabuli, Michika Local Government was arrested by the Command Operatives attached to Divisional Police Headquarters, Mubi North for raping 18-year old student.
The Police Boss equally advised parents to be very watchful of their kids against criminal minded elements who are roaming about seeking whom to devour and to report person(s) of suspicious character to the police.
He equally called on the general public, especially the parents to key into the Command’s Fight against all forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and promised to prosecute perpetrators in accordance with the extant laws.
