Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies.

Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said.

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN: BAUCHI POLICE ARREST FIVE SUSPECTS FOR RAPE AND DEFILEMENT OF MINORS


 ...No child should go through pain in the hands of those who should protect them.


In the last one week, five innocent girls - aged 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11 - have had their childhood violated. Behind each figure is a traumatized child, a heartbroken mother, and a family thrown into anguish.


Determined to get justice for these children, the Bauchi State Police Command has arrested five suspects in separate cases across Yana, Azare, Tilden Fulani, Yelwa and Misau.


Below are the synopsis of the cases:


1.  Yana - The 8-year-old Girl:


On the 20th October, 2026, a mother in Disina village noticed an unusual movement in her 8 years old daughter. With gentle questioning, the little girl opened up that on 17th October, 2026, a 44 years old man from the same community, Shawilu Liman, had allegedly lured and defiled her. The child was immediately taken to General Hospital Shira/Yana by the operatives of Yana Division for care.


2.  Azare - The 4-year-old threatened to be killed:


On 21st October, 2026, a mother in Duhuwar Zaki, Azare came crying to the Azare Division with her 4 years old daughter. The child disclosed that on 19th October, 2026, a 20 years old Nasiru Adamu allegedly lured her into his room, defiled her and threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone. Detectives rescued the child and rushed her to the hospital.


3.  Tilden Fulani - 11-year-oldGirl Lured with N500:


On 19th October, 2026, a mother reported at Tilden Fulani Division  that her 11 years old daughter was lured with just N500 into a narrow passage by 47 years old Auwal Ibrahim of Sarkin Hausawa and defiled. The victim has been medically examined at General Hospital Toro.


4.  Yelwa - The trusted neighbour Lured a 10-year-old:


On 22nd October, 2026, a 45 years old mother, of Yelwa Unguwan Ngas, reported that at E-Division that her immediate neighbour, a 22 years old Ibe Ocheja Lawrence, allegedly lured her 10 years old daughter into his parlour on 19th October, 2026 and defiled her.


5.  Misau - 6-year-old Taken to a Farm Near a Graveyard:


On 23rd October, 2026, a father in Gwaram village, Misau LGA, reported at Misau Division that a 19 years old Idris Sani allegedly took his 6 years old daughter to a farm close to a graveyard and violated her. She is now receiving care at FMC Misau.


All five suspects are in custody. All five girls are receiving medical and psychosocial care.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, mni, psc(+), has described the acts as “heinous, inhuman and an assault on our collective conscience.” He condoles with the affected families and assures them that justice will be served.


“These children are our children. Their pain is our pain. We will ensure discreet investigation at the SCID Bauchi and diligent prosecution. No offender will be spared,” the CP stated.


The Command urges parents to be extra vigilant, know where their children are, who they are with, and to create a safe space where children can speak up without fear. The public is encouraged to promptly report any form of abuse to the nearest Police station.
