Police arrests man
A 30-year-old man, Lawali Bala, has been arrested for allegedly sodomizing 12 children in Rikina village, Dange-Shuni local government area of Sokoto State.

Lawali, who hails from Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State, has reportedly been carrying out the illicit act for over two years before he was arrested.

Speaking after his arrest, Lawali said he was introduced to the act by a man in Niger State and since then, he could not stop doing it.

He disclosed that he came to Rikina in search of a greener pasture as his grand parents were originally from the area, Daily Trust reports.

Lawali confessed to sodomizing the children while they were sleeping because the kids used to spend their night at the residence of one of his victims’ father.

He stated;

I don’t give them anything because I used to do it when they were sleeping but not at the same time. If I sodomized one today, I will wait until after a week before I do it to another.

He met his waterloo when one of the boys, who caught him in the act, reported him to his father.

Lawali stated;

The people of the community handed me over to Hisbah (Sharia police) and told me never to return to the area again.

Recounting his experience, one of the victims, a 13-year-old boy, said;

Anytime I wake up in the morning, I used to feel the movement of something like thick water inside my anus with my trouser’s rope, either cut off or loosened. There was a time, I caught him, loosing my trouser’s rope but I was afraid to tell my parent, thinking they would not believe me.

The father of the boy expressing disappointment noted;

I feel betrayed because this is the guy that I treated like a son. I sheltered him, fed him and even gave him cloths but look at how he paid me back.

On his part, zonal commander of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and other Related Matters (NAPTIP), Mitika Mafa Ali, said the suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigation was concluded.
