The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Borno State Command, has revealed how some youths in Maiduguri, the state capital, now hypnotize teenage girls with drugs and charms to rape them.
The targeted victims are usually between the ages of 13 and 14.
The Commandant of the corps, Mr. Ibrahim Abdullahi, made the disclosure while speaking with newsmen in the state capital at the weekend.
According to him, the command recorded three cases of rape in one week between December 20 and 30, 2016.
Abdullahi said,“The ugly trend was reported by parents of the victims from Gomari Coasting, London Ciki and Jidari Polo in Maiduguri.
“The victims, who are aged between 13 and 14, confessed that some youths raped them using drugs and charms, and that none of them could recall what happened.
“The command also conducted a medical examination on the girls, which revealed that there was serious penetration. Others were confirmed pregnant.
“The three girls recalled that they were abducted in a tricycle before they were taken to separate location and raped.
“No arrest has been made so far, but the command will work tirelessly to bring the culprits to book,” the Commandant added, calling on parents to ensure proper upbringing of their children and wards, and monitor their movements.”
