Siyama is a 3-year-old girl who died on September 29, 2022, 4 days after she was raped by a 40-year-old man called Idi, who lives at Lungun Alhaji Halliru in Gama, Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.
According to the story, about a week ago, Siyama was lured by Idi, who called her to his room, gave her some sweets, and sexually assaulted her. He also threatened the little girl, that if she told her father, he would kill her with scissors and also tell his cat to eat her up, (knowing fully well that the little girl was afraid of cats).
After she returned home and was about to have her bath, when her clothes were taken off, blood was seen coming out of her body. When asked what happened to her, she said; “It was Idi. He took off my pants, did something to me and gave me sweets, and said if I told my father, I will die.
Ummah, please don’t tell Abba.” She then described how he put a pair of scissors on her neck and said he would cut her with it if she told her father.
She was then rushed to the hospital, where the doctors confirmed ‘Penetration’.
After the arrest of Idi, he was taken to the state CID, and while giving a statement, as he was brought out with handcuffs, the little girl saw him and immediately panicked and screamed: “Umma, he said he would kill me with scissors, why did you tell Abba? He will tell the cat to eat me.”
“Since this encounter, Siyama developed a high fever and as they returned back home, the next morning, she died of the trauma of what the man said to her as she kept repeating “he will kill me with scissors,” according to the story.
