The Katsina State Police
Command has arrested a 33-year-old teacher at Nasarawa Annex Primary School in
the Faskari Local Government Area of the state for allegedly raping a
nine-year-old pupil, Simbiat (pseudonym).
The teacher, Hamisu
Galadima, said to be a serial rapist, had reportedly lured the pupil into the
staff room sometime in July and raped her.
He was said to have
threatened to beat her up if she informed her parents or anybody in the school
about the act.
PUNCH says, Simbiat later
confided in her father, Hashimu Mohammed, who reported the incident at the
Faskari Police Division, leading to Galadima’s arrest.
He was subsequently
arraigned before a Katsina Magistrate’s Court and was remanded in prison
custody while the case was adjourned till September 26, 2016.
A police source disclosed that
the suspect was being investigated on five other rape cases.
The source said, “Presently,
we are having five different First Information Report on Galadima on cases of
rape apart from the one he appeared for at the magistrate’s court. He has
already been arraigned before three other magistrates in connection with rape
cases.’’
Meanwhile, the magistrate
court will continue hearing in a rape case against a 50-year-old security
guard, Inusa Barau, aka Dan Olo, on September 28, 2016.
Barau was accused of raping
a 12-year-old pupil of Sheik Gumi Primary School, Kankara.
The school’s headmaster,
Salihu Aliyu, had reported the incident at the Kankara Police Station, alleging
that Barau committed the offence at the Kankara LGA guesthouse where he (Barau)
worked.
According to the Police
First Information Report, Barau had given the victim N400 after committing the
offence.
The FIR read, “The victim
sustained injuries in her private parts and was taken to the General Hospital,
Kankara, where she was examined by a doctor, treated and discharged.”
The police said Barau
confessed to have had sex with the victim twice.
