Bauchi Police Arrest Jafar Mohammed for Abduction and Rape
The Bauchi State Police Command arrested 24-year-old Jafar Mohammed from Zango Ward over allegations of abducting and raping a 16-year-old girl. A written petition was received on September 3, 2026, from a 35-year-old woman from Makwalla Ward, stating her younger sister had been missing since August 5, 2026.
The victim returned home on August 8, 2026, claiming that Mohammed had deceived her with a promise of marriage before engaging in sexual intercourse without her consent. Following intelligence-led policing, detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) arrested Mohammed in October 2026 at the Hayin Rigasa area of Kaduna State.
During interrogation, he allegedly confessed to the crime. The case is currently under discreet investigation at the Gender Laboratory of the SCID in Bauchi.
