The FIR reports adds that on the date, one Abdul-Malik Nuhu had reported at Malumfashi Police Station that his 13-year-old daughter had been impregnated by the five suspects, after they all had unprotective sexual intercourse with the minor several times, leading to the pregnancy.

When the matter came up for hearing, the prosecutor, Hashimu Musa, told the court that the police were still investigating the matter and therefore needed time to carry out a thorough investigation.
