CSOs Call For Justice In Case of Police Officer Rape Of Four-Year Old Girl In Plateau State

Two civil society organizations, the Christian Foundation for Social Justice and Equity (CFSJE) and the United Action for Democracy (UAD), have condemned in the strongest terms what they called the unethical, unprofessional, criminal, callous and inhuman behaviour of some officers of the Special Task Force (STF) in Plateau State.

In a joint statement today, the groups said that a Police Officer attached to Sector 7 of the STF in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state wickedly raped a four year old minor, and that the Commandant has confirmed the incident as well as the transfer of the suspect to the Police Headquarters in Jos for prosecution.

“The victim was subsequently rushed to the General Hospital, Barkin Ladi to stop the severe bleeding and given general treatments,” the statement said. “The unholy act of this Police Officer has no doubt exposed the innocent kid and family to serious psychological trauma and Sexual Transmitted Diseases (STDs) including but not limited to the deadly Human Immuno-Defiency Virus and Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS).”

They warned that they will follow the rape case to a logical conclusion, as many cases against security agents over the years have been swept under the carpet, urging the police in Plateau State to make sure that the culprit is prosecuted so as to secure justice for the innocent girl, her family, womanhood and humanity.
