Police apprehend five for kidnap, raping of teenager

Men of the Benue State Police
Command have arrested a three-man gang,
which allegedly kidnapped and raped a 15-year-
old girl in Makurdi, the Benue State capital. Also nabbed by the command was a two-man
robbery gang, which specialised in
dispossessing their victims of their Ipads and
computers. According to a statement by the Benue State
Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Daniel
Ezeala, the police were “alerted by a man that
his 15-year-old cousin was last Friday
repeatedly raped by a four-man gang, which
kidnapped her at 7:30pm. “They abducted their victim into a red Toyota
Camry and drove her to Apir, in the outskirts of
Makurdi town, where they took turns to have
carnal knowledge of her against her consent.” “But, acting on the information, our men swung
into action and three of the suspects were
arrested while the police are still on the trail of
the fourth suspect.” Ezeala added that officers of the command,
who were on a stop and search duty, arrested
two robbery suspects, consequent upon a
robbery alarmed raised by a victim, who was
robbed and pushed out of a moving Toyota
Camry car with number plate, AV 566 MKD. He said the “duo of Emmanuel Omale and
Ahmed Deedat were arrested near the Police
Secondary School in Demekpe area of Makurdi
town in possession of one locally made
pistols.”
