According to the police report, the suspect lured the child into his grinding engine shop at Kasuwan Borkono, Mubi North, on March 17, 2025, and committed the crime, fully aware that she is a minor.
“Upon receiving the complaint, the Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, Psc (+), immediately deployed operatives from the Mubi Division to take action. The suspect was swiftly arrested, and the victim was rushed to a medical facility in Mubi for urgent examination and treatment,” the statement read.

The Commissioner of Police strongly condemned the act and has ordered that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Yola for a thorough investigation.
The Adamawa State Police Command assured the public that justice will be served, emphasizing its commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals, especially children, from such heinous crimes.
