A senior Magistrates Court 6 sitting in Katsina, has remanded two grandparents in prison custody for allegedly raping an 11-year- old girl.
The two suspects, Haladu Abdu, 65, and Ashiru Musa, 64, both of Sabuwar Unguwa in Katsina metropolis, allegedly had carnal knowledge of 11- year- old, Yusra Shuaibu.
Prosecuting police officer, Inspector Hashimu Musa, told the court that the father of the victim reported the case at Sabon Gari police station.
Musa informed the court that the two old men criminally conspired and lured little Yusra Shu’aibu to a shop situated at Sabuwar Unguwa area, where they forcefully had sexual intercourse with her.
According to him, as a result of the forceful act, the young girl sustained various degrees of injury in her private parts.
The prosecuting police officer said the accused are being charged under section 97 and 283 of the Penal Code Law of Nigeria.
No plea was taken due to lack of jurisdiction by the court.
The presiding magistrate, Nafisat L Bagiwa, however, ordered that the accused persons be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case to 24th December, 2014.
