A 20 - year - old man , Abdullateef Ibrahim , who was arrested by the Niger State Police Command for allegedly raping a five- year - old girl , has pleaded for forgiveness , saying he started raping children after his girlfriend left him .

The Niger State Police Public Relations Officer , Muhammad Abubakar , said on Sunday that the suspect was apprehended by operatives attached to Nasko police division , adding that he had been charged to court .

Abubakar explained that the suspect confessed to the crime during interrogation, noting that the victim had been taken to the General Hospital , Magama , for treatment .

It was learnt that the victim was running an errand for her mother when Ibrahim dragged her to an isolated area in the bush and had sex with her .

Northern City News gathered that the suspect had been involved in the heinous act for over two years before he was eventually arrested by police operatives .

Ibrahim told our correspondent that he had forcefully had carnal knowledge of more than six underage girls in the community .

He said , “ Since my girlfriend left , I have been in the act and I enjoyed doing it, but at times I will ask myself ‘ why am I into this mess and the urge still continues ?’ It is quite unfortunate that I found myself in this hopeless predicament .”

He begged for forgiveness and advised other youths to shun “ the wicked act that may mar their future. ”
