Four men have been arrested after drugging and gang-raping a 13-year-old girl in Kaduna state despite the ongoing campaign against rape in the country.
The men were said to have dumped the girl underneath a vehicle near her house after they committed the dastardly act.
Confirming the incident on Twitter, the Ministry of Human Services and Social Development in the state said after hours of frantic search, the victim was found by a relative and was rushed to a hospital.
The ministry explained that the four suspects and one collaborator are already in custody, while the case has been moved to the State Criminal Investigative Department.
The tweet reads, “While the ongoing conversation on #SayNoToRapists continues, the monstrous practitioners have not shown signs of slowing down. In Kaduna, we are currently following a case of alleged gang-rape by a group of men on a 13-year-old girl.
“The survivor was apparently drugged and raped by the four “scums”, taken on a motorcycle driven by an unsuspecting biker and dumped underneath a parked car close to her house. After hours of frantic search, she was found by a relative. She was immediately taken to the hospital.
“The four rapists and one collaborator have since been apprehended and the case moved from the @PoliceNG Division to the State CIID HQ in Kaduna. After investigation, the men will be charged before a court of competent jurisdiction.”
”The blame is on perpetrators whenever there’s rape. It is each one of us’ responsibility to ensure that we do not partake in, aid or condone rape. The 4 rapists haven’t heeded that advice & will face the music. @elrufai & the entire KDSG structure will fight rape to a standstill.”
