The Nasarawa State Police Command on Friday paraded 10 criminals for various offences, including armed robbery, rape and theft.
Among the suspects was a 24-year-old man, Arigwu Stephen, who allegedly raped a one-year-old girl in Yar-kede village in 2013.
The father of the victim reported that the act was discovered in November 2015 when the daughter (now three) complained of stomach pain and was rushed to Federal Medical Center, Keffi.
He said the doctor decided to run a test and discovered that his daughter was raped over two years ago.
“I got to know that my daughter was raped over two years ago after a doctor report at FMC and was admitted for six days before she discharged on Thursday 7, 2016,” he lamented.
The Police Commissioner in the state, Mr. Lawal Shehu, told journalists the culprits were arrested in Keffi Local Government Area of the state.
The police boss also said the command on July 7, 2016 arrested a suspected kidnapper, who abducted a Chinese mining expatriate, Mr. Pan Yuhu, and killed a police corporal attached to him.
He said that the suspected kidnapper killed the police corporal and made away with his AK47 rifle with 30 rounds ammunition.
“Since the incident the police commenced an investigation, which eventually led to his arrest in Toto local government area of Nasarawa State,” Shehu said.
It was learnt that the deceased, who was on special duty, was serving at Mopol 38 Akwanga as an escort at the time of his death.
“A case of kidnapping occurred at Ayiwawa village where a Chinese mining company Tongyi group is being operated.”
“The suspect was apprehended following a tip off.”
Shehu added that the command arrested an indigene of Niger State, who graduated from Nasarawa State University, Keffi in 2012, Mr. Paul Yohana, 29, in Keffi Local Government Area for allegedly robbing some ladies of six mobile phones at gun point.
“I was caught in an armed robbery in Keffi local government area of the state when I robbed some ladies of their hand set in the area.”
“I was taken to prison to serve one jail term in 2014 because I stole a car and was released in December last year,” the suspected car snatcher added.
“The gun, which I had been using to terrorise people in Keffi axis, was given to me by my friend, who is also a notorious armed robber in the area.”
