Upon questioning, the young girl revealed that Haruna had lured her into his room when no one was around.

Victor further disclosed that a medical report confirmed the child had been defiled.

“The case will be handed over to the state Ministry of Justice after thorough investigation for a speedy trial,” he stated.

While Haruna has denied the allegations, claiming it was a frame-up, preliminary findings revealed that he is a neighbor of the victim’s family.

In a separate development, the NSCDC in Nasarawa State has arrested three suspected cult members accused of causing destruction and harassment in the Layin Yan Kaji and Super Cinema areas of Lafia.

The suspects were apprehended with items including two locally made pistols, live cartridges, and tools such as phone pliers and scissors.

The command linked the arrests to efforts to curb crime and vandalism in the state.
