A seven-month-old baby girl, Hauwa Ibrahim, who was raped by her stepfather, Magaji Dansale, at Dangaski village in Musawa Local Government Area of Katsina State, is dead.
This development was confirmed on Thursday by the Commissioner of Police, Katsina State Command, Usman Abdullahi.
Abdullahi said Ibrahim died on Thursday morning.
He said: “It is very sad and unfortunate.
“The seven-month old baby girl, Hauwa Ibrahim, raped by her stepfather, died this morning.
“The case will now change from rape to homicide.
“The culprit, Dansale, will appear in court as soon as investigation is completed on the incident.
“It is very, very sad.”
The seven-month-old baby was raped less than a month ago by Dansale, who said he had a dream that if he slept with a little girl, his challenges with women will vanish.
