A 13-year old Fulani girl’s body have been found after she was allegedly raped to death by local miners at the Tipper Garage area in Gwagwalada Area Council of Abuja.

 

According to the council’s secretary of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Ibrahim Ciroma, the girl was declared missing on Thursday August 22 after she went to hawk milk but her corpse was found at the Tipper Garage area on Friday.

Ciroma said her private parts were stained with blood and that it was taken to the hospital where doctors confirmed that she was raped.

“The incident has been reported to the police, and to God be the glory, some miners suspected to be behind the crime have been arrested,” he said.

Herders reportedly mobilised to the area in an attempt to attack the miners but the quick intervention of security agents doused the situation.

Confirming the incident, the spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, said seven suspects had been arrested.
