NSCDC reacts to family of girl raped, after they staged a peaceful protest, accusing the authority of shielding the suspected rapist.

The family members staged a protest on Wednesday, July 1 where they stated that their eight-year-old daughter was raped several times in Potiskum, Yobe State, by two men, 50-year-old Baffa Ado (50 years) and Usman Musa Lampo (20 years).
They alleged that the suspects are being protected by the Potiskum Divisional Officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Bala Habule.
The family members also alleged that Habule has repeatedly refused to hand over the two arrested suspects to the police for proper prosecution.
They also claimed the NSCDC official has been threatening to deal with them if they continue to cry for justice.
Reacting via its Twitter handle on Thursday July 2, the NSCDC says it has begun an investigation into the matter and would ensure justice is served.
