The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested two suspects connected to alleged criminal conspiracy related to sexually molesting a minor.
Disclosing the incident in a press release issued by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, on Tuesday, the command noted that “On July 16, 2025, one Ibrahim Maikudi submitted a formal complaint to the ‘C’ Divisional Headquarters of the Bauchi Police Command regarding an alleged incident involving criminal conspiracy and unnatural offences.
“The complaint detailed that Mr Maikudi discovered excrement on the trousers of his 12-year-old son.
“His wife corroborated this observation, reporting having witnessed this occurrence on multiple occasions.”
The statement revealed that upon inquiries, the minor disclosed that he had been enticed by three individuals, identified as Lukman Mohammed, aged 30 years, Musa Halilu, aged 32 years, and Alkasim, surname unknown.
The PPRO explained that in response to the complaint, detectives were dispatched to the location, and the victim was referred to a specialist hospital in Bauchi for a medical examination.
“Consequently, two suspects have been apprehended, while the third individual remains at large.
“Preliminary investigations indicate that an eyewitness, a watchman in proximity to the location, voluntarily informed the police that he had observed one of the suspects, Musa Halilu, pursuing the boy on two separate occasions. The watchman cautioned the boy to maintain a distance from the suspects. Shortly thereafter, he witnessed the boy approaching the suspects’ residence, at which point he intervened and reprimanded the boy, “Wakil added.
He maintained that “Following this incident, the boy’s mother inquired about the reprimand, to which the watchman explained. The boy subsequently informed his mother that he had been influenced and lured by the suspects above into their dwelling, where he was subjected to anal sexual intercourse.”
The PPRO stated that the Commissioner of Police, Sani-Omolori Aliyu, had directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Bauchi, to conduct a thorough investigation and to ensure the apprehension of the remaining suspect.
