After
passing through a traumatic experience of being raped all night by a man
literarily described by the police as a beast from hell, the curtain seem to
have closed for a 15-year-old girl (names withheld), as medical examination has
confirmed her assailant HIV positive.
The
teenager was said to have left her home at Mararaba, in Karu Local Government
Area of Nasarawa State at about 11.am penultimate Saturday to hawk sachet
water, popularly known as pure water, when fate dealt her a fatal blow.
An
harbinger of pain, sorrow and agony came in the form of one Abubakar Atiku,
who, on accosting her, seized the money she had so far realized from the sale
of water for the day, which he used as a bait to lure her to his residence.
It
was learnt that having succeeded in luring her home, Abubakar not only raped
her repeatedly, but also held her hostage till the next day when she was found
naked at his residence by a search party which was raised when the girl did not
return home the previous day.
He
was promptly arrested by the police and detained at the ‘A’ Division, Mararaba,
before being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department of the
Nasarawa police command in Lafia, where he presently cooling his heels.
Sadly,
the police said Atiku was confirmed to be HIV positive after all necessary
medical tests were conducted on him. This discovery, according to sources, has
become a dilemma for his victim and her parents.
Nasarawa
State police spokesman, ASP Umaru Ismaila Numan who confirmed the incident, was
silent on the medical status of the girl.
He
simply said investigation was in progress.
