A teenage girl has been found at an uncompleted building in Yelwa area of Bauchi in a worrying condition.
According to Neighborhood Watch, a vigilante group, the girl was found in the incomplete building adjacent to the Cemetery Monday morning.
Dawopda John, a member of the Neighborhood Watch, Yelwa Division, told our correspondent that the girl, aged between 10 and 12, was found traumatised with bruises on her face.
“We found her around some minutes past 7:00 am,” he said.
“She was sitting outside without a dress. We asked her series of questions but she could not talk but appeared to hear what people are saying but cannot respond verbally.
“I called some people to help me ask the girl why she was sitting in front of an incomplete building without wearing clothes.
“We discovered she was traumatized”
David said he alerted members and called his commander of Yelwa division to call the DPO Yelwa division.
“Fortunately we got the DPO who sent some personnel and took the girl to protective custody for further investigation,” he said.
“Based on assessment we are suspecting a rape case but we can’t be certain yet
“On her skirt there appeared to be sign of drops of sperm or something like that and the bruises on her neck showed something happened to her”
He advised the members of the public to assist the group with information on cases like this.
“The girl has been taken to the police in company with an NGO the Child is Gold with a vehicle and we are waiting for feedback from the police”
