On Monday, February 12, 2024, Gbanger was paraded to the command headquarters in Makurdi, along with three other individuals who had been taken into custody for a variety of offences around the state.
Through the NSCDC Public Relations Officer, Michael Ejelikwu, State Commandant of NSCDC Yakubu Ibrahim informed media that the child was defiled on Sunday by r*pe suspect Gbanger Terkimbi in the Mbakumur Peivi village of Guma LGA in Benue State.
He said that on January 25, the suspect was taken into custody after a medical check that proved his victim had sustained injuries, including wounds to her private area.
In a conversation with reporters on Sunday, he acknowledged the crime and said he was teaching the little girl sex at her request.
The NSCDC also said that the second suspect, 27-year-old Abdullahi Ali, also referred to as “Rayyamu and two pack,” was taken into custody at Ankpa Quarters in Makurdi on February 5 at around 11:49 a.m. on charges of theft, armed robbery, deceit, and criminal conspiracy.
Additionally, it was claimed that Ali had escaped from police custody once, even while wearing handcuffs, and from the NSCDC twice before being captured by civil defence officials.
