NSCDC Nabs 5 For Sodomy In Sokoto

The Sokoto State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has paraded five suspects including an uncle of a seven-year-old allegedly sodomised.

In an interview while parading the suspects at the command headquarters in Sokoto, the NSCDC state commandant, Mohammed Saleh-Dada, said the uncle of the victim was the first suspect who sodomised the underage boy.

He added that the said uncle thereafter invited four other persons who consistently rape the boy until they damage his private area.

He further stressed that the command has also obtained a court order to further detain the five sodomy suspects to conclude an investigation on their matter before they will be charged to the court.

The Commandant further appealed to lawyers and other human rights activists to always consider the victims and their relations before making a case for such suspects of rape and sodomy.

He maintained that the trauma of such victims and their relations can only be imagined.
