Nigerian police say they have arrested a man after 40 people were raped in one town over the period of a year.
A mother in the northern town Dangora caught the man in her children’s bedroom, according to police spokesman Abdullahi Haruna.
The police say the spate of rapes included an attack on an 80-year-old and children as young as 10 years old.
Dangora is a small town in Kano state about 85 kilometres south-west of Kano city, making it difficult for police to access, reports the BBC’s Mansur Abubakar from Kano.
The chief of the town, Ahmadu Yau, said the arrest is a welcome development.
