A suspected paedophile, Abdullahi Bara’u, has been arrested by operatives of the Katsina State Police Command for allegedly having carnal knowledge of his two-year-old niece in Jibia Local Government Area of the state.

Bara’u, 40, according to a statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Abubakar Aliyu, was nabbed after a report of his sexual activities with prepubescent children in Riko village of the local government.

The statement read: “The command has succeeded in arresting one Abdullahi Bara’u,’m’, aged 40 years old, of Riko village via Jibia LGA, Katsina State, a suspected notorious paedophile in connection with a case of suspected rape of his two (2)-year-old niece and step-daughter.

“Nemesis caught up with the suspect when a report on his criminal activities was received through the representatives of the International Human Rights Advocacy and Awareness Centre on the suspected rape of his niece.

“The fact of the case is that on April 3rd, 2024, at about 1200 hrs, the mother of the victim left the victim and her elder sister at home under the care of the suspect. 

“The suspect took advantage of the situation and deceitfully sent the elder sister on a bogus errand while he lured and had unlawful knowledge of the victim.”
