Wednesday, April 23, 2025 - The Bauchi State Police Command has apprehended a 40-year-old woman, identified as Fatima Ibrahim, alleged to have sexually assaulted a minor who has been her househelp in Azare, Katagum Local Government Area of the state.
Police spokesman CSP Ahmed Wakil said that the case was
reported at Azare Divisional Headquarters on 1 March 2025.
According to him, the report indicated that Fatimah, a
resident of Tashan Jama’are, was involved in the troubling case involving a
12-year-old boy, who had been employed to assist in her business.
According to Wakil, the victim, an Arabic learner, was
reportedly housed at the defendant’s residence, where he was “subjected to
inappropriate conduct over two months.”
“During an interview, the victim described how the
defendant, who he trusted as a maternal figure, engaged him in acts of a sexual
nature, especially when her other visitors were not present,” Wakil stated.
The boy recounted being given a mixture involving lemon
juice, which he believes may have been tampered with before these incidents
occurred. The victim indicated that he had been subjected to such behaviour on
multiple occasions.
“During the subsequent interrogation, the defendant admitted
to her actions. The investigation is ongoing, and once completed, the suspect
will undergo profiling and be charged in court for the established offence,” he
added.
