13-year-old girl drugged, gangraped in Kaduna

The Kaduna State Ministry of Human Services and Social Development has launched an investigation into the raping of a 13 - year - old girl in the state .

It was learnt that the girl was drugged before being gangraped by the four men . They later dumped her underneath a parked vehicle near her house.

According to the ministry, the victim was taken by suspects on a motorcycle that was “ ridden by an unsuspecting biker and dumped underneath a parked car close to her house.”

The Ministry stated on its twitter handle on Thursday that after hours of frantic search, the victim was found by a relative and immediately taken to the hospital.

It said the four rapists and one collaborator have since been arrested and the case moved to the State Criminal Investigative Department.

“ After investigation, the suspects will be charged before a court of competent jurisdiction ,” it said.

It stated that while the ongoing conversation “ on # SayNoToRapists continues , the monstrous practitioners have not shown signs of slowing down.”

The case of rape has recently gathered momentum following several cases of rape on social media.

Only recently, a 100 level student of the University of Benin, Vera Uwaila Omozuwa , was raped and killed in a church.
