The Yobe State Command of the Nigerian Police Force said it recorded a total of 34 cases of gender-based violence, GBV, in the state from January to June 2024.<\/p>\n
The command\u2019s spokesman, ASP Dungus Abdulkarim, on Tuesday, made this known in a statement issued to journalists.<\/p>\n
He said the latest such crime was the arrest of one Mallam Auwalu Haruna for allegedly abducting and impregnating a 20-year-old girl.<\/p>\n
According to him, the medical examination revealed that the victim was two months pregnant and that she confessed to being coerced to drink a medicinal concoction, which rendered her unconscious and vulnerable to the perpetrator\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n
He added that the State CID has launched an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n
Commissioner of Police Garba Ahmed, who declared zero tolerance against GBV, called on stakeholders to join forces in combating GBV, which has far-reaching consequences for the well-being and development of the girl child and society at large.<\/p>\n
He equally urged parents, guardians, and community leaders to be vigilant about the relationships their wards have with others, as perpetrators are often close relatives, neighbours, or acquaintances.<\/p>\n
He assured that perpetrators would be arraigned in court.<\/p>\n
