40-Year Old Woman Arrested For Raping 12-Year Old Boy in Bauchi

40-year-old Fatimah Ibrahim is to be arraigned before Bauchi court for raping a 12-year-old boy whom she housed under the guise of needing his help with her business.

This incident reportedly happened in Tashan Jama’are, Katagum LGA, Bauchi and the Fatimah was arrested after a resident of the area alerted the police.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Bauchi command, Ahmed Wakil who narrated the incident said that the victim was always given a lemon juice mixture —which he (the victim) suspects to have been tampered with; each time she wanted to carry out the act.

“On March 1, 2025, at about 14:00 hours, a concerned citizen from Katagum Local Government Area reported a serious incident to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Azare.

“During an interview, the victim described how the defendant, who he trusted as a maternal figure, engaged him in acts of a sexual nature, especially when her other visitors were not present,” he said.

While Fatimah admitted to the allegation, the Police has said she will be arraigned after proper investigations are done.
