The police in Dutse Local Council of Jigawa State have arrested a 32-year-old man, Bashir Umar, for inserting a pair of scissors into the genitals of an eight-year-old girl.

Confirming the development, the spokesperson for the state police command, Lawal Shiisu Adam, said the incident was reported on August 29 at about 2:20 p.m. in Dutse Divisional Police Headquarters.

The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Dutse, for investigation and prosecution in court.

Adam said: “Similarly, he injected her private part with a syringe, rendering her unconscious. After she regained consciousness, he gave her N150 and threatened to kill her and her parents if she told anyone what 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 urinating and stooling, she was brought to the hospital, where the attending physician verified that her genital organ had been punctured.

“The survivor is currently at Rashid Shekoni Teaching Hospital Dutse where she is receiving treatment.”
