The Kano Federal High Court has sentenced one Ado Danjuma, 53, to three years imprisonment for
abducting a nine-year-old girl and sexually molesting her.
The
prosecution counsel, Aondona Orti, told the court that the convict had on
February 2, 2011, lured the victim to a shop where he worked as a security man.
"He inserted his finger into the private part of the nine-year old girl, touched
her buttocks and later asked her to go," said Orti.
He said the police arrested the convict at his duty post after the girl went
home and narrated what happened to her parents.
When the charge was read
to Danjuma, he pleaded guilty and asked for leniency as he had five children and
a pregnant wife.
The trial judge, Justice Shehu Yahaya, sentenced him to
two years imprisonment without the option of a fine on first count of taking
custody of the girl without the consent of her lawful guardians; and also
sentenced him to one year imprisonment for having carnal knowledge of the girl
contrary to the Trafficking in Persons Act 2003
