An 8-year-old girl was severely injured after a 32-year-old man, Bashir Umar, raped her and inserted scissors and a spoon into her vagina and anus in Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State.
DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam, the spokesperson for the command, reported on Saturday, September 7, 2024, that Umar also injected an unknown substance into the girl’s private parts.
According to the spokesperson, Umar would lure the girl into his room whenever he saw her heading to school. He would then abuse her again using the same methods and threaten to kill her if she told anyone.
The statement read: “In a tragic and inhumane incident that reported on August 29, 2024, at about 1420hrs in Dutse Divisional Police Headquarters that, an eight-year-old girl had been coerced into a one table water company’s restroom by one Bashir Umar ‘m’ 32yrs of Galamawa town, Dutse LGA, who then forcibly inserted scissors and a spoon into her vagina and anus, respectively.
“In a similar manner, he injected her private part with a syringe, rendering her unconscious to the point of incapacitation, and causing blood to seep from her virginity.
“After she regained consciousness, he gave her one hundred and fifty naira (#150) and threatened to kill her and her parents if she told anyone about what had transpired.
“From then on, whenever he saw her heading to school, he would entice her into his room, abuse her again using the same technique, and threaten to tell no one.
“After experiencing problems with her urine and stool due to vaginal and anus mixing, she was brought to the hospital, where the attending physician verified that her genital organ had been punctured. She later disclosed her horrific ordeal in the hands of the suspect.
“The survivor is currently at Rashid Shekoni Teaching Hospital Dutse where she was admitted receiving treatment.
