Father of the victim recounting the sad and evil incident said the sad act was exposed after his daughter started crying bitterly in the house.

“As she was passing along the road, he asked her to come into the house to collect fruits. That was how he got the girl and forcefully defiled her.”
NSCDC Spokesperson in the state, Mr Aminu Maru confirming Yahaya’s arrest said;
“The corps member is still in our custody. The father of the girl reported the case at the command’s headquarters through the Intelligence and Investigation Department, complaining against one of our staff members, Sani Yahaya on alleged rape.
“While investigating the issue, the suspect said he did not have the carnal knowledge of the girl, confirming, however, that he grabbed her into a room where he gave her two nuts of umbrella tree.”
Maru went on to say that Yahaya will be arraigned in court if a doctor confirms that the girl was raped.
