Mohammed Abubakar, while being interrogated by Niger
State Child Right Protection Agency, said he lured a nine-
year-old primary four pupil with a N10 lollipop sweet.
The 30-year-old, a commercial motorcyclist and resident
of Tudun Fulani in Bosso Local Government Area of
Niger, disclosed this on Tuesday.
Abubakar said: “I saw her outside her school where I had
parked my motorcycle to buy sweet and she told me to
give her sweet.
“I gave her a sweet and then lured her to an
uncompleted building and had sex with her.
“I am a married man and we have a 3-month-old baby; I
have not been sleeping with my wife because she just
gave birth recently and that tempted me into doing the
act with the girl.
“I only had sex with the girl once; I am sorry,” he said.
Narrating her ordeal, the victim said: “He usually lures
me to an uncompleted building close to the school
during break time.
“He will touch my buttocks and put his finger inside my
private part.
“He also gives me sweet and promised to give me
N6,000 if I did not tell anyone about the act,” the victim
said.
Hajiya Saratu Salihu, the victim’s teacher, who reported
the matter to the agency, explained that she started
suspecting the victim following her frequent absence
from class, and how the victim always disappear from
school during break time and will not return to class.
“When I started suspecting that the girl was up to
something, I kept monitoring her movement until I
caught her outside the school premises with the suspect
on November 20.
“When she entered the school, I and another teacher
took her to the bathroom and checked her private part;
we realised the girl had been deflowered.
“We questioned her and even had to beat her before she
told us that an “okada’’ rider had been molesting her
secretly.
“We then started monitoring the suspect until he was
caught in the act while trying to lure the victim,” the
teacher narrated.
Director General of the agency, Mrs. Mairam Kolo, in
reaction to the incident, said that most of the abuses
meted out to children were committed during schools’
break times.
She also said the agency will meet with the state’s
Ministry of Education to emphases the need for students
not to leave schools’ premises alone during the break
and closing periods.
“We have already embarked on sensitisation campaign to
let parents know the dangers involved in allowing
children go out alone without monitoring,’’ she said.
Kolo said that the suspect would be transferred to the
State Criminal Department for further investigations while
the victim receives medical treatments.
