Shocking! 40-year-old Woman Sexually Assault 12-year-old Boy

A 40-year-old resident of Tashan Jama’are, Fatimah Ibrahim, has been arrested for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old boy in Azare, Bauchi State.

It was gathered that the victim had been employed by the suspect, who also housed him, and so was sexually assaulted repeatedly over the two months.

The case was reported to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Azare on March 1, 2025, by a concerned citizen from Katagum Local Government Area.

According to CSP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil Anipr, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), during interrogation, the victim recounted his ordeal, describing how he had come to trust Ibrahim as a maternal figure.

He reported that the defendant engaged him in acts of a sexual nature when her visitors were not present.

Disturbingly, he mentioned being given a mixture believed to involve lemon juice, which he suspects may have been tampered with before the assaults. The victim indicated that this abuse occurred on multiple occasions during his time in her care.

The Police also interrogated Ibrahim who admitted to the allegations against her.

Meanwhile, the authorities have confirmed that the investigation is still ongoing, and once completed, Ibrahim will undergo profiling before being charged in court for the established offences.

The Police urged anyone with additional information to come forward to aid the investigation.
