He was said to have carefully monitored the movement of his victim's mother before committing the act. 

Spokesperson for the police in the state, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, confirmed the arrest of the alleged rapist.

He said, "The victim is now undergoing medical screening while the suspect has been taken into custody for investigation and prosecution."

Meanwhile, in view of the spiraling rape incidents, wife of the Adamawa State governor, Lami Fintiri, on Thursday took a four-kilometer-long trek to demand an end to rape in the state.
 
The trek against rape, which terminated at the state's House of Assembly, saw the Adamawa First Lady demanding a legislation with stiff penalty for convicted rapists.
