A 17-year-old girl identified as Zara’u Buhari, has been raped to death by some hoodlums in Kimba village in Jega Local Government Area of Kebbi State. Leadership reports that the innocent teenager was abducted by the heartless gang in the village and after they gang-raped her, they murdered her to cover their tracks because she apparently knew them.
It was gathered that Zara’u was on her way to her elder sister’s house to keep her company because the sister’s husband had traveled and left the wife alone at home.
The teenager was said to have left home around 8 pm for her sister’s house to spend the night when the gang led by one Aliyu Sarkin Mata, accosted her on the road. The criminals, numbering four and said to be armed with some dangerous weapons, kidnapped Zara’u, raped her severally and finally strangled her to death. The lifeless body of the late victim was allegedly dumped in the bush by the criminals in a bid to cover up for the evil deed but luck ran out on the miscreants as they were arrested by the police and detained at the Police Headquarters in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.
Narrating the incidence to newsmen, the bereaved father of the victim, Bello Buhari, a senior staff of Kebbi State Ministry of Finance, said the incidence came to the family as a rude shock that will not be forgotten in a hurry.
Quote
“When the incident happened, I was not aware but was later informed that Zara’u could not be seen. She often visits her sister to keep her company in the absence of the sister’s husband.
But my son called to inform me that Zara’u is missing so I left the city and rushed to the village. As a matter of fact, I arrived Kimba around 10 pm and I met a group of sympathizers at my house in the village all looking worried”.
We got information that somebody who took the girl on a motorcycle was spotted at Alelu village, some two to three kilometers away from Kimba village where my daughter was kidnapped.
We also got additional information that somebody, probably one of the criminals, advised the first suspect who kidnapped the girl to allow her to go free because the girl may have come from a decent family but he refused.”
