The judge, Lawal Suleiman, sentenced the teenager without an option to pay fine.

Suleiman held that the punishment would serve as deterrent to others who would want to indulge in such crimes.

The prosecutor, Inspector Yakubu Audu had earlier told the court that the case was transferred from the  Kaduna-Vom Police station  to the State Crime Investigation and Intelligence Department on September 24.

Audu told the court that Ezekiel Jatau of Bachil District of Riyom Local Government reported that that the teenager lured his daughter into the bush and  raped her.

On arraignment, the accused pleaded guilty to the charge and begged the court for leniency.

Audu said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 283 of the penal code law of Northern Nigeria.
