On Friday, the Niger State Police Command announced the arrest of a man who allegedly impregnated a 15-year-old girl in an unfinished building located in Tayi Village near Minna.

The command’s spokesman, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, disclosed this to journalists in Minna.

He said the teenager, name withheld, was in JSS3.

He said the incident was reported at the Bosso Divisional Police Station on Feb. 28 at 10:30 pm.

”The female victim of about 15 years, who is a JS3 student in Minna, fell sick and was taken to a hospital for treatment and she was confirmed to be pregnant with complications,” he said.

The spokesperson said that during interrogation, the teenager confessed that a 40-year-old resident of Tayi Village impregnated her.

He added that the suspect was luring the minor with N100 or N200 into an uncompleted building in the village, where he was defiling her.
