The Bauchi State Police Command has detained a 37-year-old man for alleged abduction and sodomising of two teenage boys.
The spokesperson of the Command, Ahmed Wakil, confirmed the detention of the man to newsmen in Bauchi on Monday.
He said he would be prosecuted upon the conclusion of the investigation.
Wakil said the command’s operatives, on receipt of a complaint of inhuman treatment, apprehended the suspect for alleged abduction and sodomising two Almajiri boys under his care at a Quranic school.
The spokesperson said the suspect allegedly lured his first 12-year-old victim at a Quranic school in Kano to Daura, Katsina State under the pretence of starting a business.
“He then encountered the second 13-year-old victim, and brought them both to Bauchi, where he began abusing one of the boys inside a mosque,” he said.
