Rape: Kano police lament withdrawal of charges against culprits
The police in Kano State on Saturday appealed to relatives of rape victims to stop withdrawing charges against culprits.
Police spokesperson in the state, Abdullahi Haruna-Kiyawa, in an interview said that withdrawing charges against rape culprits was not serving the course of justice.
He lamented that most rape victims in the state were between the ages of five and 17, across both genders.
He equally expressed concerns over the frightening rise in rape cases in recent times.
Mr Haruna-Kiyawa said the police had secured conviction of some rape culprits, while others were still being prosecuted.
He further urged members of the public to report rape cases promptly.
