Abubakar Yakubu, a suspected rapist who allegedly defiled two minors between the ages of six and eight years in Limawa area of Minna, Niger State capital, has disclosed the reason behind his actions.

“He also confessed that he usually lured the little girls into his house with a token of fifty naira or one hundred naira since last year.

“He mentioned two other girls he attempted to have the same act with, including one of his relatives whom he has been trying to defile.”
