The Police in Zamfara State Police Command said it is investigating the alleged defilement of a three-year-old girl in the state.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Shehu Mohammed, said the command was surprised to hear that the suspect has been released.
He said that although the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Usman Nagogo had since ordered for the decongestion of police cells across the state, “this does not include those remanded for murder, banditry, rape and other related crimes.

“This was why the command was surprised to hear a report on one of the foreign Hausa Service media Houses that the alleged rapist of a 3-year-old girl has been released from police custody.
“It is more disheartening that the information was given by the victim’s mother while the media concerned threw away the ethics of the profession by refusing to contact the police in order to verify the information,” he noted.
According to the police spokesman, issues relating to rape and defilement were usually handled by the police command headquarters and that the girl’s case, which was reported by her father, Aminu Ibrahim in Kaura-Namoda, on March 24, 2020, was since transfered to the CID Department of the command where the suspect, Kabiru Nasiru was being held and investigated.
