Police charge man for banditry after reporting Immigration officer for raping wife
Yusuf Samaila is currently being incarcerated at the prison after spending days in Police custody for reporting a Deputy Superintendent of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Sani Muazu to the authority that his wife was raped.
Subsequently, the victim’s husband and complainant were later detained on the accusation that he was “aiding and abetting” kidnapping.
While speaking with journalists in Bauchi, she accused the Commissioner of Police, Auwal Mohammed of failing to investigate her rape case but swiftly arrested her husband, Yusuf Samaila on an allegation of defamation based on the suspect’s (Immigration officer’s) complaint.
The victim had approached a human rights civil society organization, African Child Development and Human Rights Protection in Bauchi seeking justice. However, the organisation has petitioned the Commissioner of Police to re-arrest the suspect for justice but to no avail.
She expressed regret that the police had failed to respond to her complaint but arrested and detained her husband on the request of the suspect for six days.

During a press briefing on Wednesday, the founder of African Child Development and Human Rights Protection, Barrister Muhammed Alkassim, condemned the Bauchi CP for failing to investigate a serious crime of rape.
The victim “is crying for help and justice. We condemn the failure of the Commissioner of Police, Bauchi State, Command to investigate the case of alleged rape. It is important to state categorically that the police have derailed from the general and specific objective of the establishment of the newly established police act as provided under section 1 and 2 of the same act.
“As human rights organization it is also important to further draw the attention of the Bauchi CP in further discharging his primary duty of the Nigeria Police pursuant to Section 4 of the Nigeria Police Act which is to prevent, detect crime and protect the right and freedom of every person in Nigeria as provided in the constitution,” he said.
“It is a capital offense, an investigation is still ongoing and the outcome of the investigation will be revealed to the public”
Commenting on the arrest of the victim’s husband, Wakil said that he has been charged to court on allegation of criminal defamation.
“He is also charged for aiding and abetting offenses to within kidnapping and the command received petition from Nazir Umar and Co chambers on behalf of their client Sani Saleh Mauzu (who was accused of rape) against the said Yusuf Samiala and based on that the suspect (rape victim’s husband) was arrested,” he said.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS
200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.
The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.
He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.
His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.
“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.
“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.
“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
