The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has arrested a 38-year-old man over the alleged defilement of an eight-year-old girl in Fana village, Dandi Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The incident was confirmed by the Secretary of the Kebbi Technical Working Group on Gender-Based Violence, Nasir Idris, in a statement made available to journalists in Birnin Kebbi.
Idris said the girl’s parents reported the alleged incident to the NSCDC in Kamba, after which the survivor was taken to the Mai Talle Tara Sexual Assault Referral Centre, SARC, in Kalgo, for medical examination and documentation.
He said the NSCDC subsequently took the suspect to the Kebbi State Command for detention and further legal proceedings.
