Kidnap and Rape of a Teen by Nigerian Policeman

Maryam Yusuf is just 14years old, an indigene of Kano state living with her parents in Asaba, Delta state. She attends Islamic school in cable area known as Hausa quarters in Asaba, Delta state.

Maryam was sent by her father to Onitsha form Asaba on 14th of October 2017 to buy round cotton but unlucky for her she lost the money while on transit. During her efforts to identify the vehicle she boarded, while standing by the road side, she was approached by one corporal Barau Garba (mopol) with service number 275601 from MOPOL 7 Sokoto state who was on a special duty in Anambra, his team was attached with OKPOKO police divisional headquarters, Onitsha.

The rouge police corporal approached the teenage girl, asking her of what happened. As the small girl explained to him how she lost her money on transit and her need to go back home, the policeman, Barau Garba, deceived her by asking her to join him on his motorcycle so that he can take her back home.

Instead of taking the teenage girl back home to her parents safely, this Nigerian police corporal decided to abduct her and took her to a temporary police base and locked her up in his room and mercilessly raped her for six days. He raped her until her vagina raptured.

For these six agonizing days, innocent Maryam was begging him to take her home but he refused. His waterloo reached its peak when on the 5th day, in the middle of the night the innocent Maryam took his mobile phone and called her father to come to her rescue.

Maryam was taken to hospital on 25th October 2017 by a good samaritan because the police in accord with the DPO of OKPOKO division are not forthcoming with her case. They want to cover up the case. They told the father that the issue has to be forgiven since both the rouge police corporal and Maryam are from the North.

Attached here is the hospital patient card where innocent Maryam was taken and various tests were conducted, and it was ascertained she was raped, which left her with a raptured vagina.

Justice must be done for Maryam. This rough police officer must be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law. Maryam must also be paid full compensation for her losses, injury, trauma and damage to reputation.
