A man in Kaduna, Usman Shehu Bashir has been sentenced to death for raping a two year old baby, Fatima in his room, which led to her death.

On that fateful day, the convict took late Fatima to his room and for about 40 minutes, he raped her which led to her death, after the establishment of all the evidence of committing the crime,” he stated.
