Chemist accused of raping 9-year-old girl to death in Kano
A chemist in Jaba, Fanisau Unogo Local Government Area of Kano State, has been accused of raped a 9-year-old girl, Rumaisa Sadiq, to death.
Kano State Commissioner of Women Affairs, Disabled and Children, Hajia Aisha Saji, who confirmed the victim’s death in a statement, said justice would be served.
She said despite moves to divert the case, Governor Abba Yusuf’s administration would follow up the matter to serve as deterrence to others.
The father’s victim was said to have taken her to the Chemist’s shop for malaria treatment, a common practice among some Nigerians who avoid going to hospital when ill, so as to avoid huge bills.
