The suspects, identified as Ibrahim Aliyu, Muhammed Adamu, Gaddafi Adamu, Usman Umar, and Musa Isa-all from Yola South Local Government Area-were arraigned by the Adamawa State Police Command.
The police spokesperson, Suleiman Nguroji, confirmed in a statement on Wednesday that Magistrate Alheri Ishaku ordered the suspects' remand pending further legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The statement asserts that the first suspect, Ibrahim Aliyu, who began engaging in unlawful sexual relations with the victim, is responsible for the pregnancy, in violation of Sections 60 and 211 of the Penal Code Laws, as determined by a DNA test conducted by medical professionals during the investigation.
