By Umar Alh. Sule, residing in Kurmin Ado village within the Kariya Ward of Ganjuwa local government area. The arrest follows allegations of repeated sexual intercourse with his 17-year-old daughter, a crime that has sent ripples of disbelief and outrage through the community.
The disturbing case was brought to the attention of the Ganjuwa Divisional Police headquarters on April 3, 2025, by a concerned individual identified as Abdullahi Baban. His report detailed the horrifying accusations that Sule had repeatedly raped his unnamed daughter, leading to the devastating discovery of a three-month pregnancy. The gravity of the allegations prompted an immediate response from law enforcement.
According to a statement released on Friday by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Ahmed Wakil, a dedicated team of experienced detectives was promptly assigned to conduct a thorough and discreet investigation into the matter. Their efforts culminated in the successful apprehension of the accused, Umar Alh. Sule, bringing him into custody to answer for the serious charges leveled against him.
During the subsequent interrogation process, the suspect reportedly confessed to the heinous crime. Sule allegedly admitted to sexually abusing his own daughter on multiple occasions, acknowledging that his actions were the direct cause of her current pregnancy. This confession provides a deeply disturbing insight into the alleged betrayal of trust and the violation suffered by the young victim.
Further solidifying the allegations, CSP Ahmed Wakil stated that a medical examination was conducted by a certified medical practitioner. The resulting medical report unequivocally confirmed the victim’s pregnancy, establishing that she is indeed three months pregnant. This crucial piece of evidence corroborates the initial report and the suspect’s confession, painting a clearer picture of the tragic circumstances.
The Bauchi State Police Command has assured the public that the case will be handled with the utmost seriousness and that justice will be pursued diligently. The suspect is expected to face the full weight of the law for his alleged actions, while support and care will need to be provided to the young victim during this incredibly difficult time.
