By Ella Makondo

A 10 – year old girl has been allegedly raped by five men, including her aunt’s husband in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Hajiya Rabi Salisu of Arida Foundation of Nigeria ( AFN) who gave the details to Daily Trust  said the  girl  was being treated for infectious diseases  bruises all over her genital area.

Hajiya Salisu explained that the victim who is  now in her custody  found herself among the rapists after her mother reported her to her aunt’s husband for refusing to hawk for her.

Her aunt, however,  took advantage of the situation and introduced two of his relatives who combined to rape her.

“The girl reported to her mother when she started seeing blood in her urine and the mother warned the sister’s husband to stay away from her.

“However, since the girl continued to hawk, in the process, she met a man selling fairly-used clothes in the market, who bought her a school sandal and also began abusing her.

“Subsequently, a bakery owner also joined the queue after buying cooked rice that she was hawking.

At the end of the day, about five men sexually exploited her,” she said.

According to her, four of the suspected rapists had been arrested by the police.

In her words :“We don’t know where the victim’s mother is at the moment, but her father is disabled and cannot move.

“So, he has handed her over to us to help her get justice and also enroll her in school.”

She explained that, “One of the suspects is at large and we are waiting on the police to inform us of the arraignment date at the state magistrates’ court.”

Confirming the incident, Kaduna State police spokesman, ASP Mohammed Jalige, said the police had strong evidence against two of the suspects who had already made confessional statements.

“The other two have not confessed yet, and we are still carrying out investigation”, he confirmed.
