Daily Post reports that the Katsina State Police Command on Friday arrested one Surajo Dauda, who drugged and abducted a married woman for five months.

Dauda, 30, of Danja LGA of the state is alleged to have drugged and abducted the married woman from their village and locked her up in a rented apartment somewhere in Abuja where he continually used her as his sex slave for five months before setting her free.

The spokesman of the state police command, Isah Gambo, disclosed this while briefing newsmen at the Police Headquarters on the recent success recorded by the Command on the ongoing onslaught against banditry and other heinous crimes in the state.

The suspect, who confessed to have committed the crime while being interrogated, said the victim was formerly his girlfriend who turned down his hand in marriage.

Reacting to Surajo’s remark, the married woman by name Jamila Auwalu said she turned down his proposal for marriage after information circulated in their village of how he had carnal knowledge of another girl in the village.

“I put D5 in her drink and she became unconscious then I took her away, hired an apartment where I kept her. Whenever I am going out, I will lock her inside.” the suspect said.

“I was forced to beat her up on one occasion after the incident, so I decided to send her back to the village.

“So I planned with one of my friends to call her husband and tell him that we are kidnappers and we have his wife in our custody. He can come for her if he wants.”
