Operatives of the Bauchi State Police Command have arrested a 70-year-old man for the alleged rape of a 10-year-old minor in Magama Gumau, Toro LGA.
The incident was reported on May 15, 2026, at about 2130hrs by the 40-year-old father of the victim, a resident of Magama Gumau.
He reported, alongside his 10-year-old biological daughter, that earlier the same day at about 1600hrs, one Hamza Yahaya, 70, of the same area, lured the minor to his hideout within the community and had unlawful sexual intercourse with her.
Upon receipt of the complaint, detectives attached to Toro Division immediately mobilised to the scene and arrested the suspect.

Both the victim and the suspect were taken to the General Hospital, Toro for medical examination and treatment.
The suspect has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Bauchi, for further investigation and prosecution.

He assured the public that the case would be diligently pursued to ensure justice is served.
The Command urged parents, guardians, and community members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
