The Jigawa State governor, Baduru Abubakar, has vowed to prosecute all the 11 men accused of raping a 12-year-old girl over a period of time.
Following the widespread condemnation, Baduru Abubakar vowed to ensure that no stone will be left unturned in ensuring that justice is served. Speaking during a press conference in Dutse, the state capital, the governor said
He said “My Attorney General is always the lead counsel in prosecuting rape charges. In this case, he is actively aware, the police are aware. We will leave no stone unturned until we bring those people to justice. It is bad and it is bad. I was made to understand that it was not gang rape at the same time. It was an incident of sexual intercourse with a minor at different times with different people. It was not like they raped her at once, 12 or 14 people. No, I think she has been going around different people who are molesting and taking advantage of under-aged (girls),”
