The Kano state government has raised the alarm over the high number of rapes against minors. Police say that they have recorded more than 100 cases of rape against people under the age of 18 since the beginning of the year.


A case that has received a lot of attention recently is the rape of an eight-month-old baby.

Barrister Ibrahim Mukhtar told the BBC that a lot of cases go unreported as people cover up what has happened.
