The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested a 35-year-old man, Wilson Sunday, for allegedly raping five minors between the ages of eight and thirteen.
The alleged habitual rapist, who resides at Damilu Ward in Yola North LGA, had previously been convicted for rape.
Sunday confessed to having defiled his victims from January 2023 after regaining his freedom from prison.
The suspect disguised himself and lured his victims into an uncompleted building where he had unlawful carnal knowledge of them while the victims were on their way to or from school.
The incident was reported to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Kofare, by the parents of the victims who had observed the suspect’s unrepentant attitude.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect is a father of two and is now living alone after separating from his wife.
The state Commissioner of Police, Afolabi Babatola, expressed concern over the unfortunate act and directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of CID to take over the investigation and ensure the suspect’s prosecution.
In a similar development, 22-year-old Raphael Peter, a resident of Bulabuli, Michika LGA, was arrested by the command’s operatives attached to Divisional Police Headquarters, Mubi North, for raping an 18-year-old student.
