2 men rape 9-year-old boy in Maiduguri

The father of a 9-year-old boy has cried out for help after two men allegedly lured his son with N100 and raped him several times in Gwange ward of Maiduguri in Borno State.

The father, Malam Jubrin, said the incident occurred last month when he noticed that his son had money of no known source.

The father told Daily Trust that he threatened to beat his son who then confessed that Musa, 24, and Abdul, 21, who are their neighbors, used to take him into one of the classrooms of their School to abuse him sexually.

Jubrin said his son also told him that his abusers gave him money and threatened to beat him up if he told anyone what transpired between them.

He said, “For quite sometime I was seeing my son with money, so I asked him and he lied to me that he picked it from the ground. I said to myself that I needed to know the source of this money so I beat him seriously before he confessed to me. He told me that after they had raped him, they would give him N100 or N50.

When I confronted the boys who raped my son they threatened to deal with me so I reported them to the Civilian JTF.”

He said the suspected rapists wanted to ruin his son’s life and he wanted justice.

The two boys have been arrested and handed over to the Police who have said they were still carrying out investigation.
