An
atmosphere of gloom has enveloped Elele Community of Ikwerre Local Government
Area of Rivers State after a 9-year-old girl was raped to death by yet to be
identified persons.
The
girl whose name was simply given as Miracle was abducted at about 5 pm on Wednesday,
13 January by yet to be identified rapists while returning from an errand for
her mother.
Eyewitnesses
said that her mother had sent her to buy some food stuffs for her within the busy
Elele Roundabout, but she never returned.
After
waiting endlessly, the worried mother had to raise the alarm and ran into their
streets calling for help in case if anyone might have seen her.
A
search party that was organised that night could not locate her.
However,
the girl’s lifeless body was later found early in the morning of Thursday, 14 January
within the vicinity of her family house.
A
family source said that they woke up from sleep on the morning of Thursday, 14
January to behold the lifeless body of Miracle with blood all over her nose,
mouth and private part.
Some
Residents in the area are insinuating that she might have been used for ritual.
It was later found out that the elder brother to the late Miracle belongs to a
cult group and has been in the custody of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad since
last December last year.
There
are insinuations that her death may be connected to a revenge by a rival cult
group.
The
Rivers Police Command is yet to react to the gruesome murder of the innocent
minor.

ABUSE – Walk Against Rape Nigeria!
