A 70-year-old man who was arrested by the operatives of the Zamfara State Anti-Thuggery Committee has confessed to raping a 13-year-old girl.
It was gathered that the suspect was already married to four wives with 20 children.
While confirming the incident, the chairman of the committee, Bello Bakyasuwa, said the suspect confessed to raping the teenage girl twice.
Bakyasuwa said, “The rapist was arrested following a report from his family members who were not happy with what he has been doing with little girls in his matrimonial home.
“He was trailed and arrested as he was about to perform his nefarious act.”
In a interview with newsmen, the suspect stated that he persuaded the girl with N100 for the first time and also gave her N200 for the second time.
He, however, denied that he defiled the girl, adding that his manhood was not functional.
He explained that he only used his finger to get satisfaction.
“I used my fingers to touch her womanhood and get satisfaction but I never used my manhood because of non-erection,” he said.
