The Kano State Police Command has dismissed two constables who abducted and raped a 16-year-old girl for one month, and demoted the police inspector who connived in the crime.

The state's Police Commissioner, Muhammad Tambari Yabo said the dismissed policemen, Yusuf Ibrahim and Salisu Mahmud were found to be the prime suspects in the rape case, while Mohammed Dantalle, the inspector, was demoted for his complicity.

Mr Yabo said the three policemen were tried and found guilty at orderly room level. He said that he personally reviewed the outcome of the orderly room trial and handed them the punishment.

He also said plans are afoot to send the case diary to the state's Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for professional advice in prosecuting the three men.

On the civilian collaborators said to be linked with the crime, the commissioner said information available to the police showed that they have fled to Lagos and Ibadan. He said the command had already declared them wanted and circulated their photographs in those areas for easy apprehension.

Mr Yabo said the three civilians actively took part in the alleged crime alongside the policemen, and there will be no hiding place for them because soon the law will catch up with them.

"We will continue to do our work with the fear of God," he said. "We hope that the measures taken against the cops will help address the concern being raised by members of the public since the matter came to limelight last month."

The 16-year-old girl, name withheld, was abducted by some policemen who were on night patrol in Kano city. She was subsequently kept in captivity for 28 days inside a room at Kwali Police Station where she was serially raped.

That is it? They should be thrown in jail! This is disgusting.

What a shame!

Coming from those that should be protecting life and properties.

This is just a case that was exposed. Can you imagine how many times this could be happening all over the nation, maybe in your local police station, maybe the abducted could be someone you know.
When does this stop? When does Nigeria grow up? When do we remove the demons in our midst?

The police people should face the full wrath of the law, maybe be hanged, imagine the damage caused on the little girl, it will haunt her for the rest of her life, and more are still happening, let us say no to crime against humanity no matter the person involved.
