Three men have been arrested by the
Nigeria Police in Kebbi State after they raped a pregnant housewife for the ‘sins’ of her husband, who had
listened to an “offensive”
Islamic sermon.
The suspects were identified as Yusuf Ahmed, Muazu Mohammed and Bawa Ibrahim. The offence was committed
in Ula-Ira town in the Ngaski LGA of the state.
Alhaji
Garba Saleh,
a Deputy Commissioner of Police, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Birnin
Kebbi that the accused had been charged to a Magistrates’ Court for theft,
criminal intimidation, rape and criminal trespass.
He said the victim was raped over an
offence ostensibly committed by her husband, stressing that she identified the
rapists, who also said they wanted to teach her husband a lesson.
Saleh said that
one Bawa Ibrahim had complained to
the district head of the
area about the “offensive” sermon of Malam Maiguduma, played by Muhammad
Dantillo, the husband of the victim.
The accused felt offended that Dantillo defied their demand for him to
desist from playing the sermon to public hearing.
He said that one of the accused (Bawa Ibrahim) confronted and threatened “to deal” with the
husband of the rape victim.
The accused utilised the departure
of Dantillo on a fishing expedition
to abduct and rape his wife.
The deputy commissioner said the
accused also dispossessed their victim of N150,000 cash.
He said the victim personally
identified all the suspects, adding that Ibrahim,
who threatened Dantillo, was also
arrested and would be prosecuted soon.
