The police in Katsina State have told how a 55-year-old mechanic toyed with the private part of three primary school students and dashed them N500 to keep their mouth shut.
Another man was also arrested in the state for having unlawful carnal knowledge of three boys.
Katsina police spokesman, DSP Isah Gambo, said, “On July 22, Bature Suleiman lured the students of a primary school at Malumfashi into his workshop with N500 and indecently assaulted them by putting his fingers into their private parts. Victims were noticed by their school teacher spending lavishly during the break period and confessed to have been given the said N500 by the said motor mechanic. The children stated that the suspect took them into his garage where he played with their private parts. Suspect has been arrested and confessed to the commission of the crime. He has been charged to court today for prosecution.”
The police received a similar report on July 29, when policemen on patrol at Kadarko Estate, Sabon Gari Katsina arrested one Sani Aliyu, 29, of Kadarko Housing Estate who allegedly lured three young boys inside his business premises “and was at different time having carnal knowledge of them against the order of nature”.
Gambo said that the patrol team rescued the suspect as he was about to be lynched by an angry mob that gathered at the premises.
“Suspect has been transferred to CID for further investigation while the children have been taken to hospital for doctor’s examination and treatment,” he said.
