Businessman allegedly sodomises seven-year-old boy, threatens to kill him
A magistrates’ court in Kafanchan, Kaduna, has ordered that a 24-year-old businessman, Dazuli Abubakar, be remanded in prison custody for sodomising a minor.
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) charged Mr Abubakar with an unnatural offence, contrary to section 259 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law.
Magistrate Michael Bawa adjourned the matter until November 1 after declining to take Mr Abubakar’s plea for lack of jurisdiction to hear the case.
Mr Bawa directed the prosecutor to forward the case file to the director of public prosecutions for legal advice.
Earlier, the NSCDC counsel, Marcus Audu, told the court that the boy’s mother reported the matter at the corps’ office in Kafanchan on September 29.
Mr Abubakar lured the complainant’s seven-year-old son with N200 and sodomised him, said the NSCDC and alleged that the accused threatened to kill the boy if he revealed what happened to anyone.
He said the victim was taken to the Salama Sexual Assault Referral Centre, Kafanchan and was referred to the NSCDC for investigation.
