Police in Yobe has paraded a soldier, Akhigbe Tijjani, who allegedly raped a young girl in front of her parents in Buni Yadi and bashed her brother in the head with a pestle after he refused to have sex with his sister (the victim).
Igbere TV gathered that Tijjani (private), attached to 27 Taskforce Brigade, was on a cordon-and-search operation when he entered a girl’s home and raped her in front of her family.
Police Spokesman, ASP Abdulmalik Abdulhafiz, who confirmed the development, said Tijjani forced the girl’s brother to have sex with his sister.
“When the boy refused, Tijjani used a pestle and hit him in the head,” Abdulhafiz said.
Igbere TV gathered that a colleague on the cordon-and-search operation reported Tijjani to the military, prompting his court-martial and dismissal.
