Nasarawa State University student in police net for raping colleague
The police have confirmed the arrest of a 400-level student of Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), for allegedly raping a 100-level student of the same institution.
The Nasarawa State police public relations officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, confirmed the arrest to journalists in Keffi on Friday.
Mr Nansel said the suspect was arrested by police operatives attached to Agwan Lambu Division, close to the university, on May 9 for allegedly committing the act.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect travelled to the village where he and the victim come from.
“The victim’s parents gave the suspect some foodstuffs to give to the victim since they are both attending the same university.
“When he brought the food items, he called the victim to come to his residence to collect them, and on her arrival, the suspect lured her into his room and had unlawful carnal knowledge of her,” he said.
Mr Nansel said that after his arrest, the suspect was taken to the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), where he had confessed to committing the crime.
He said the suspect would be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation.
