A 25-year-old man in Adamawa State has been nabbed for alleged sexual assault against his nine-year-old niece.

The Adamawa State Police Command, which made the arrest, identified the man as Abdu Hamidu, a native of Kwakwa in Hong Local Government Area.

He was alleged to have lured the little girl into his room and had carnal knowledge of her.
