The Adamawa Police Command says it has arrested a 30-year-old man in Adamawa State, for defiling a two-year-old baby girl.
The man, Buguwa Kwaji, confessed to defiling the two-year-old baby girl, and blamed his act on alcohol.
The Adamawa Police Command which spoke on the case on Saturday, said Buguwa Kwaji was apprehended last Sunday and has made his confessions in the course of being investigated by police operatives.
Buguwa, who resides at Aljannaru village in Song LGA where he perpetrated the crime, claimed he was under the influence of alcohol.
“After drinking a gin known as voltage on that fateful day, I lay down, and the little girl came and started playing on my body. So, I raped her because I could not resist the urge for sex,” Buguwa said.
He was caught in the act by the little girl’s elder sister who raised the alarm, prompting angry neighbours to take him to the police.
He is said to be married to a pregnant woman.
Adamawa Police spokesperson SP Suleiman Nguroje, said Commissioner of Police, Afolabi Babatola has ordered investigation officers to dig into the matter and ensure diligent prosecution.
