The Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN) has expressed concern over the increasing wave of rape cases in Jigawa State, a situation the association said, needs to be tackled by authorities and other stakeholders.
The state chairman of the association, Gausu Ahmad, made the disclosure during a roundtable organized by the group at state secretariat, Dutse, recently.
He said at the moment, there were over 30 rape cases currently being prosecuted in courts throughout the state.
Gausu added that “there are about 12 pending investigation and legal advise; not to mention those that already been concluded successfully with convictions.”
