Two weeks ago, a mobile policeman attached to the Special Task Force was caught raping an underage girl at his duty post in the same local government. The man had since been dismissed and charged to court by the Plateau State Police Command.
Sunday Tribune learnt that the 70-year-old man allegedly lured the young girl into his apartment and forcefully defiled her, but was caught in the act by the son of his landlord, Kelvin Abraham who alerted other people in the house on the illicit act going on.
A source close to the scene of the incident further disclosed that on noticing that people were aware of his atrocity, the 70-year-old man took to his heels but was apprehended and handed over to the police in the local government.
Sunday Tribune findings within the neighbourhood revealed that the man was a serial rapist who had been caught in similar acts at one time or the other but always left off the hook due to his age.
It was further learnt that the man was HIV positive and had been receiving treatment at a medical centre within the local government area and was under close watch by those who were aware of his high libido and his preference for underage girls.
A doctor at the Barkin Ladi General Hospital, Samuel Audu, said the arrested man had been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and until his arrest, had been receiving anti-retroviral therapy at the same hospital.
