Yesterday, the police in Adamawa announced that a 35-year-old man named Wilson Sunday had been detained for raping five children between the ages of eight and fourteen.
The crime is said to have been perpetrated by Sunday, a resident of Yola North’s Damilu, starting in January 2023 and continuing ever since.
He allegedly lured his victims inside incomplete buildings while they were traveling to or from school.
Parents of the victims who saw the man’s lack of remorse reported the event to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Kofare.
Following his divorce from his wife, the man has two children and now lives alone, according to the police inquiry.
It was claimed that he had previously been found guilty of a related crime.
Afolabi Babatola, the commissioner of police, expressed worry about the situation and promised thorough investigation.
Raphael Peter, a resident of Bulabuli in the Michika local council, was also detained in the meantime after being accused of raping an 18-year-old student.
