40-YEAR-OLD WOMAN RAPE A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY IN AZARE, BAUCHI STATE

On March 1, 2025, at about 14:00 hours, a concerned citizen from Katagum Local Government Area reported a serious incident to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Azare. The report implicated Fatimah Ibrahim, a 40-year-old resident of Tashan Jama’are, in a troubling case involving a 12-year-old boy, Abubakar Yakubu (not his real name), who had been employed to assist in her business.

The victim, an Arabic pupil, was reportedly housed at the defendant’s residence, where he was subjected to inappropriate conduct over two months. During an interview, the victim described how the defendant, who he trusted as a maternal figure, engaged him in acts of a sexual nature, especially when her other visitors were not present. He recounted being given a mixture involving lemon juice, which he believes may have been tampered with before these incidents occurred. The victim indicated that he had been subjected to such behaviour on multiple occasions.

During the subsequent interrogation, the defendant admitted to her actions. The investigation is ongoing, and once completed, the suspect will undergo profiling and be charged to court for the established offence.
