One-year-old baby became a victim of sexual assault by a three-man gang who abducted her from her mother in Katsina State.
The baby was abducted from her mother, Suwaiba Ahmadu, and gang-raped at Danja Local Government Area of the state.
It was learnt that Suwaiba was returning from Angwan Bawa area in the Danja LGA, when the suspects perpetrated the act.
The incident occurred on Sunday, when two members of the gang allegedly met the mother along a lonely road and lured her to take a ride with them on a motorcycle to her destination.
It was gathered that the suspects on getting to a junction, grabbed the baby from her mother’s back and fled to a nearby bush where a third accomplice joined them. They reportedly took turns to rape the child.
The Katsina State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Isha Gambo, confirmed the incident, adding that the police had arrested one of the gang members, while the remaining two were still on the run.
He said, “At a point along the bush path, the baby, who was strapped to the back of the mother, was forcefully taken from the mother by two members of the gang. They ran inside the bush with the baby, where another member joined them to perpetrate the evil act.
