Tashiu Aminu Lulu, 24, was given a five-year jail term by a court in Kwara North, Nigeria, for criminal charm, assault, and gross indecency against Halirat Ismaila, an 18-year-old woman.
On September 20, 2023, in the Woro Community of the state’s Kaiama LGA, he allegedly committed the crime.
A complaint from one Halirat Ismaila, who accused the suspect of criminal charm, assault, and gross indecency, led to the convict’s arrest by members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Kaiama Division.
She said,
“The suspect called her on the phone to come over to his house; she allegedly left her house unconsciously, and on getting to the suspect’s house, he ordered her to pull off her clothes, which she did unconsciously too.
The suspect thereafter took a razor blade and cut some hair from her head, armpit, and private part. He commanded her to do some incantations with a calabash in her hands and thereafter had intercourse with her. She alleged that since then, she has been having terrible dreams.”
The suspect pleaded guilty and was handed a 5-year imprisonment at Okekura Correctional Service, Ilorin, the state capital, while his charm was publicly destroyed and burned at the court premises.
