The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) says it has secured the conviction and life imprisonment of two security guards in Abuja for the serial rape of a six-year-old girl. According to NAPTIP’s statements reported by Nigerian outlets, the abuse occurred repeatedly over about six years. Vanguard and The Punch both cite NAPTIP’s press briefing in Abuja on Friday and describe the case as involving repeated sexual assaults by the guards while the child was a minor.
The Punch identifies the convicted guards as James Sule, 30, and Adamu Yau, 25, while both reports attribute the disclosure to NAPTIP officials through press and public relations channels. Both sources state that the court delivers life imprisonment following NAPTIP’s prosecution and said the case involved ongoing abuse rather than a single incident. The reports present the convictions as the outcome of NAPTIP’s efforts to prosecute trafficking-related and sexual violence offences against a child.
