Two of the seven boys who took turns to rape a 22-yearold physically challenged orphan in an uncompleted building at Sagin Lemu area of Sokoto North Local government area of Sokoto State, have been arraigned in court. The boys after committing the act were said to have gone into hiding.
However, working on intelligence, men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) were said to have apprehended two of the rapists.
The boys who were arraigned before the Magistrate Court 9 Kwannawa, have been remanded at the Sokoto Correctional Centre just as investigation and search for other fleeing gang members continue.
In a related development, men of the NSCDC have arrested a 23-year-old man for raping a six-year-old girl in the Marina area of Sokoto State.
According to NSCDC, the suspect who is in their custody will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is completed.
The NSCDC in a display of professionalism took all the raped victims to Nana Khadija Centre for medical checks to ensure that they are not infected with STDs. ( Leadership)
