A 25 year old man, Tunde Vincent, has been arrested by the police in Niger State, for reportedly raping a 12-year-old girl at Madalla village in the Suleja Local Government Area of the state.
The father of five tracked his victim and assaulted her in an uncompleted building in the area.
The incident occurred sometime in January this year, when the girl was on her way from an errand to Madala town according to Northern City News.
The suspect on Thursday stated that he had been engaging in the act for some time.
“I don’t have appetite to make love to grown-up women; I prefer little girls to satisfy my sexual urge and enjoy doing that as long as I want it; each time I stopped, something would push me to do it again.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, said the suspect had confessed to the crime and regretted his action.
He added that the suspect was arrested by the police operatives attached to Madalla Division.
Abubakar said the command had concluded investigation and would soon arraign the suspect in court.
