One Danladi Wari has been apprehended for allegedly defiling a nine-year-old girl in Adamawa state.
Wari, 65, who blamed the nefarious act on the minor, said the girl lured him into having carnal knowledge of her by touching him seductively.
The Adamawa State Police Command said on Sunday that the man was arrested at his residence in Gangaraso in Jada Local Government Area on the 23rd May, 2023.
It added that the man had insisted that the little girl followed him into his room and seduced him into sleeping with her.
According to the State Police Public Relations Officer, Suleiman Nguroje, the man had claimed that the girl demanded N200 from him which he did not give her, but sewed for free some clothes she had brought to him.
Nguroje said the suspect was apprehended following a complaint to the police by the girl’s family members.
He assured that the man would be prosecuted according to the dictates of the law.
