from Chibok, was staying with her aunt at the Colori Camp.

the state capital.

and took her to a house in Colori ward behind the NNPC quarters, where he raped
her.

house. After intensive search by the command, the girl was later found with the
culprit," Ibrahim said.
The commandant condemned the increasing rate of domestic
abuses ranging from defilement to rape,in the state.
