Naija News gathered that, Nnaji took the victim to an isolated area in the bush and had carnal knowledge of her.
The suspect, who is a shop attendant, said, “I knew she is an underage girl; that was the reason why I have not impregnated her. I want her to be of age, so I can marry her.”

Muhammad Abubakar, the state Police Public Relations Officer, in a statement released said the suspect confessed during interrogation, adding that he would soon be arraigned in court.
