Adamawa Police Arrest Man For Allegedly Defiling Minor

The Adamawa State Police Command has arrested 28-year-old Aliyu Musa for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Mubi Local Government Area.

The information was disclosed in a statement released on Tuesday by the command’s spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje.

Nguroje explained that the arrest forms part of the command’s ongoing efforts to safeguard women and children against sexual violence in the state.

He disclosed, “The arrest followed by a Complaint made on 12th September, 2025, at Mubi South Divisional police headquarters, that on the 11th September, 2025, a young sales girl aged 14 years sought shelter in the suspect’s shop when it was raining.

“The suspect took advantage of that and allegedly lured her into the inner part of the shop, where he forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of her.

“He further attempted to induce her with money and a promise to buy her a mobile phone in order to conceal the unlawful act.”

He further revealed that the Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, has directed a discreet investigation and assured that the case will be thoroughly prosecuted to guarantee justice.

He added, “The CP strongly condemns any form of sexual abuse against children and calls on parents, guardians, and members of the public to always educate their children about personal safety, while also encouraging them to report any suspicious or criminal act without fear”.

It will be recalled that in March, the command apprehended a 43-year-old man, Rabiu Usman, for allegedly raping an 11-year-old girl.

Nguroje stated that Usman was taken into custody for allegedly raping the minor in Timdore District, Ganye Local Government Area of the state.

“The arrest followed a referral from the Chief Magistrate Court, Ganye, based on a complaint lodged by the victim’s mother that, on February 16, the victim, while attending a wedding ceremony in Timdore village, went to a nearby house to drink water,” he stated.
