Court remands man for attempted r3pe of neighbour’s 12-year-old daughter in Kaduna

A 36-year-old man, Nibras Isah, was on Thursday, January 23, remanded by a Kaduna Chief Magistrates Court for allegedly attempting to r3pe his neighbours 12-year-old daughter. Isah, who resides at Ungwan Sanusi in Kaduna, is charged with attempted r3pe. The Magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, who did not take the plea of the accused, ordered that he should be kept in Correctional Centre, pending legal advice from the State Director of Public Prosecutions. He adjourned the matter until February 27 for a hearing. Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. Chidi Leo told the court the accused committed the offence on January 19, 2025, at his residence. Leo said that on the said date, the accused called the 12-year-old girl to buy a recharge card for him while she was passing by his house. He added that when the minor brought the recharge card to Isah in his room, he locked the door, grabbed her and tried to r3pe her. He added that the screaming of the minor attracted a neighbour who ordered Isah to open the door. The prosecutor said that when the accused opened the door, he attempted to escape, but was apprehended and taken to the Police Station. He said the offence contravened the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2020.   The post Court remands man for attempted r3pe of neighbours 12-year-old daughter in Kaduna appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
