The Holy Book captured this situation millenniums ago when it said in Jeremiah 17:9 that: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
How else do we qualify the case of a 23-year-old man in Adamawa State who recently confessed to getting a student drunk and then raped her?
Safiyanu Abubakar, a resident of Angwan Chamber in Toungo Local Government Area of southern Adamawa, made the confession to operatives of the state Police Command, who arrested him, according to a statement obtained Saturday morning from the Police Public Relations Officer of the state, SP Suleiman Nguroje.
“I took advantage of her vulnerability after mixing Captain Jack (a hot drink) and Coke and making her take it,” Safiyanu told the Police.
Nguroje said the incident took place earlier in the week, September 12.
According to Nguroje, “The suspect, on 12/9/2023, was said to have paid a visit to the Victim (Name withheld) as a friend and Good Samaritan but unfortunately he intoxicated her drinks.”
The spokesman said the state Commissioner of Police, CP Afolabi Babatola, had ordered for immediate prosecution of the suspect on completion of the investigation.
