Bauchi State Police Command has recovered mutilated genitals of 6-year-old girl in a raid at the house of suspected ritualists in Jama’are town in Bauchi State.
The Command Public Relations Officer DSP, Ahmed Mohammed Wakil, who disclosed this to newsmen during a media briefing Wednesday, said that the fleeing suspect, 19-year-old Abdulkadir Wada Haladu, has been arrested in Mararraba, Nasarawa State, where he voluntarily confessed to the crime.

Wakil said, “Exhibits recovered from the suspects’ hideout include; two knives, one Mirinda bottle containing suspected genital organ (complete Vulva; Libia Majora, Libia Minora and clitoris), three bottles containing native medicine, one carton containing some native dry medicines tied inside polythene bags; one dry animal skin, two Islamic native black boards, one calabash, one hoe and two locally made dishes”
In a brief chat with newsmen, the arrested suspect, Abdukadir Wada Haladu, said, “I am not the one that removed the genital part of the victim.
“It was my friend who cut off her Virgina but I accompanied him and took part in the operation.
“While he was removing the genitals, an Almajiri entered the uncompleted building, so we rushed out of the building and ran away to the ritualists who instructed us to bring the genitals to make money.”
“I met my friend in the house of ritualists and the man collected the two knifes used in the operations and wrapped them.
“My friend also removed the cloth he used in the operation and the ritualists asked us to go.
“When I heard that the police came to our house looking for me, I ran away because I knew the ungodly act we committed but regret my action because I cannot do this to my younger sister,” Haladu said.
