Three teenage Fulani herders arrested in Bauchi for allegedly gang-raping a girl whose identity is concealed in Itas/Gadau Local Government Area of the state said they committed the crime because they wanted to experiment what they watched in pornographic videos.

The suspects who spoke separately in an interview with journalists while being paraded at the Police Command headquarters in Bauchi yesterday narrated the role they played in committing the crime.

The prime suspect, Mamman Jauro, aged 15, the eldest amongst them said they only saw their victim in the bush and conspired among themselves to commit the crime.
