An 18-year old boy has been arraigned before a Katsina Senior Magistrates’ Court for allegedly having sexual intercourse with his eight-year-old sibling.
Saidu Abdullahi, a junior secondary school student who lives with his family at Jabango Quarters, Katsina, lured his 8-year-old sister into a toilet in a steel rolling company near their house and forcefully had sex with her.
Saidu has been charged with incest which the police said contravenes Section 390 of the Penal Code. The police prosecutor, Inspector Sani Ado, told the court on Tuesday that investigation was still in progress and asked for the case to be adjourned.
The magistrate Hajiya Fadila Dikko, admitted Abdullahi to bail and ordered him to appear before the court on February 14, 2018, when his case will be mentioned.
