Incessant Cases Of Minors Rape In Kaduna State Baffles Governor El-Rufai


Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State addressed a Press Conference,barely 24 hours after the arraignment of a suspected serial rapist, Haruna Tukur, 24, at Kaduna High Court 7 yesterday, and expressed outraged over the crime, saying he would do all within his power to curtail the rising crime, and ensure that the culprits face the law.





Haruna, was arraigned for forcefully having carnal knowledge of a 5 year old girl, at Malali suburb of Kaduna in an uncompleted building in February. He was also alleged to have been fingered in several similar offences, but had always evaded justice. Addressing the Press in Kaduna on behalf his principal, the Spokesman of the Governor, Mr. Sam Aruwan said:

“On behalf of the governor, I wish to call the attention of the public and call for their cooperation on the increasing cases of rape, especially of minors in Kaduna state. “You were all there yesterday in Court, when Haruna Tukur was brought to court for defiling a 5 year old girl.

 “This is a man that had been arrested and brought before the law in the past. He will jump bail, just to be arrested and brought to the Police on the same offence. 
“The governor is very sad about this, and he wants to make sure that people like Tukur go through the legal process that will determine his crime or not, set him free or convict him. 

“There is also the case of a woman who specialises in trafficking children between the age of 3 and 5 to some men. We don’t know what she stands to gain from that, and why these men are doing that. We will let you know when she will be arraigned in the court.
 We have many cases like that. “As a father, the governor wants to ensure that no one would destroy the future of a minor, or any girl or lady in Kaduna state through the destructive use of rape and go free. “I recall the trauma of a woman who became mentally imbalanced after her 3 year old daughter was almost raped – not raped! – But almost raped. 

Now, that woman lost her sanity. just imaging what could have happened to her daughter. Thank God, she later regained her mind. So, imagine what victims, their parents, brothers and families go through after such a devilish act. “The governor has assured everyone who knows any victim of rape, of adequate protection if he volunteers information to the following numbers: 08064 810576 and 080 5036 6625”, he said.
