Yunusa’s Father Faces Possible Prosecution

According to a material available

Inspector General of Police Solomon Arase has said that Yunusa’s father will be prosecuted, if investigation found him wanting.

Arase however noted that Yinusa’s father is not the person at the centre of the “abduction” and dismissed claims by Yunusa’s father that his son committed no crime.
The police chief spoke in Benin City at a one-day awareness workshop on sexual and gender-based violence in Nigeria, organised by the police, in collaboration with Cleen Foundation and Ford Foundation.

Represented by the Gender Officer, Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department, Mrs. Mairo Adebalogun, Arase noted that Bala’s claim of innocence was irrelevant and insisted that Yunusa would be prosecuted.

A child protection specialist with the United Nations Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF), Mr. Tatenda Makoni, called on state governments to strengthen their campaigns against sexual and gender based violence, as part of efforts to address the prevalence of the menace in the country.
