Prison Warden from hell impregnates minor

Published

on

A 30-year-old Prison Warden, Rabiu Lawal, has allegedly impregnated a 13-year-old girl, (Name withheld), who he also abducted from her guardian’s house to undergo abortion.

The suspect, a warden at the Jos Prisons, and also a resident of the prison’s barracks allegedly started raping the minor since January, which eventually led to her becoming pregnant.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) investigations in Jos revealed that the minor was repeatedly raped for several months.

When NAN spoke with the victim, she confirmed that the suspect threatened her and had sex with her forcefully, almost every time on her guardian’s bed.

According to the minor, Lawal usually waits for her guardians to leave for work in the morning; he then comes to their apartment in the same barracks to have sex with her.

“I was brought to Jos in December 2017 from Langtang, to help my Aunt with domestic work as her husband was transferred to a different state and she needed help.

“In January, Lawal came into our house when my aunt had left for work and held my hand and dragged me into the room to rape me but I screamed and he ran away.

“The next day, he came back and threatened to harm me if I screamed again, so I allowed him to have his way and he took me into my aunt’s room and raped me on her matrimonial bed.

“Lawal was always coming almost every day to rape and threaten me; he never promised me anything and I have never received anything from him,” she said.

The victim’s guardian, Mrs Khadijah Isah, told NAN that on May 21, she suspected that the young girl was pregnant, as she was always sluggish and sleepy.

Isah said that when interrogated, the victim opened up on Lawal’s constant abuse, after which she took her to the hospital and was confirmed pregnant.

“My family members immediately summoned Lawal to my house and he accepted the allegation and suggested that the pregnancy be aborted as he was not ready for marriage.

“We did not agree with his plan to abort the unborn baby and we asked him to invite his parents to the house for discussion on how he will take care of her and the unborn baby,’’ she explained.

Isah told NAN that the suspect agreed to come with his family for discussion but ended up abducting the girl and took her for abortion, which almost claimed her life.

“On May 23, I left very early for my business and left her at home with my husband’s younger brother, I later received a call that she was missing.

“I went home immediately and was told that she went out to buy airtime for my brother-in-law and did not return when a search began, neighbours said they saw Lawal with another lady in a tricycle.

“I called him immediately and he picked but denied abducting her, claiming he was on his way to bring his family members.

“Several hours later, we saw her walked into the house with some difficulty and I sensed that something was wrong.

“I asked her questions and she revealed that Lawal and another woman saw her on her way to buy credit and led her to a waiting tricycle.

“She told me that he took her to a local clinic, which we later learnt was a place in

Gangare Street, where some metals were inserted into her vagina,” she said.

She added that the girl began to bleed heavily and lost consciousness, which made them to rush her to a clinic owned by the Police.

Isah said it was at the hospital that she discovered that the girl had incomplete abortion, which led to heavy bleeding.

“She was induced and a fully formed fetus of about four months was evacuated from her at the Police clinic and I immediately reported the incidence to the Police and Lawal was arrested.

She, however, said that she was shocked to hear that the suspect was released on bail.

The Investigating Police Officer in charge of the case, Insp. Sabina Margai, of the A Divisional Police Headquarters, Jos, confirmed to NAN that the suspect was arrested, detained and granted bail.

According to Sabina, investigations are ongoing and the suspect will be charged to court when it is concluded. (NAN)

ESET Responds to EFCC’s Arrest of 792 Cryptocurrency Fraud Suspects in Lagos

ESET Reacts to EFCC's Arrest of 792 Cryptocurrency Fraud Suspects (2)
The suspects arrested by the EFCC

ESET, a global leader in digital security, has provided insights on the rising threat of online scams.

In a significant operation earlier in the week, Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), conducted a large-scale raid on the Big Leaf Building in Lagos, identified as a key hub for fraudulent activities.

According to EFCC’s account, 792 individuals were arrested during the operation, including 148 Chinese and 40 Filipino nationals, all suspected of involvement in a global fraud network.

The suspects are alleged to have operated a complex scam ring that deceived victims through fraudulent romance offers and cryptocurrency investment schemes.

The Big Leaf Building served as the central location for a call center operation, primarily targeting individuals from the Americas and Europe.

The Nigerian accomplices-initiated contact with victims, while foreign nationals managed the deceptive schemes, coercing victims into transferring funds.

During the raid, the EFCC seized computers, mobile phones, and vehicles. Authorities are now collaborating with international law enforcement agencies to investigate potential connections to larger organized crime syndicates.

This operation represents a significant step in combatting the escalating threat of online fraud and transnational criminal activity.

In a media briefing held on Monday, December 16th, 2024, at the EFCC Lagos office, Wilson Uwujaren, the director of Public Affairs, revealed that Nigerian accomplices were recruited to target victims through phishing campaigns, utilizing platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram.

Reacting to the development, Mr. Olufemi Ake, ESET’s managing director for West Africa, emphasized that fraudsters often use dating sites and social media to assume false identities, making it increasingly difficult to detect their deceptive tactics.

These criminals frequently employ psychological manipulation and advanced artificial intelligence to build trust with their victims, further complicating efforts to catch them.

Ake also noted that many of the Nigerian suspects involved in these fraudulent activities were unaware of the true identity of their employers, as they did not receive official letters of appointment or payments from corporate accounts.

This, he argued, highlights the need for employees to regularly vet their employers’ operations to avoid being ensnared in fraudulent schemes.

“As online criminals become more skilled at exploiting digital platforms, Ake advised individuals to remain cautious and informed to protect themselves from falling prey to increasingly sophisticated fraud tactics”, he said.

He recommended verifying identities through trusted channels, being skeptical of unsolicited investment opportunities, especially those involving cryptocurrencies, and ensuring that their devices are equipped with up-to-date cybersecurity applications. “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” Olufemi Ake concluded.
