The Bauchi State High Court No. 6 has sentenced Yusuf Bako, aged 50, to life imprisonment for raping a young girl inside a mosque situated along Aminu Street in Bauchi metropolis.

LEADERSHIP reports that Bako was arrested in 2020 for the offense, to which he confessed. He was accused of raping a 4-year-old girl in the mosque during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown. Disturbingly, this was not his first offense, he had previously been jailed twice for similar rape offenses.

The Director of Public Prosecution, Bauchi State Ministry of Justice, Barrister Sha’awanatu Yusuf, confirmed the conviction in an exclusive interview with our correspondent on Wednesday.

She said that the judgement was delivered by Justice Sa’ad Zadawa of High Court No.6 in late November this year after hearings from both sides of the case.

Sha’awanatu expressed that this conviction signifies the ministry’s commitment to securing justice for victims of rape and upholding the validity of the VAPP Law currently in operation within the state.

Additionally, the Director urged the Administration of Criminal Justice Act to expedite the trial process for suspected rape cases in the state, expecting further convictions to follow suit.

She called upon parents and guardians to collaborate with authorities in prosecuting suspected rape offenders. “Some parents hinder their children, who are victims of rape, from appearing in court and giving testimony,” Sha’awanatu lamented.

It’s noteworthy that in 2022, Bauchi State Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed ratified the VAPP Law, which prescribes the death penalty and life imprisonment for convicted rape suspects.
