A 12-year-old girl, who was raped by an elementary school teacher in Unguwan Fantaro, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna state, sometime in June 2021, has given birth to a baby boy.
The juvenile girl whose name we cannot mention, used to hawk in her village, when she was lured by the teacher called Salihu under the guise of buying chin-chin worth N200.
Salihu covered Halima’s mouth and had carnal knowledge of her inside the room.
The victim became pregnant three months after the incident and she was placed under the custody of the Kaduna State Ministry of Human Services and Social Development through the Ummulkhairi Foundation.
However, confirming her delivery, the Commissioner of Human Services and Social Development, Hajiya Hafsat Baba, said the girl was successfully delivered of a baby boy.

Hajiya Hafsat Baba said “the little girl gave birth to a baby boy three weeks ago, and I am happy the doctors at Barau Dikko Hospital were able to manage her well to give birth on her own, rather than allowing her to go through a caesarean section.
“Though the baby is with us, we just handed her over to her mother on Wednesday. We are, however, not leaving any stone unturned to see that justice prevails and the man who put the little girl in the family way pays for his action.”
