Here is a sad story of how a 9-year-old girl tragically died after her body began to rot following a “ritualistic rape” incident.
According to the report, the girl identified as Habiba was allegedly raped by a 60-year-old chief in Edo state.
Priscilla Usiobaifo who is the founder of Brave Hearts Initiative said the chief confessed to the crime and begged for forgiveness but he fled the community when he discovered that the girl’s parents were bent on getting justice.
Last week, rashes appeared on Habiba’s skin and her skin started peeling.
She died last Saturday, August 29, while she was being transferred to a more advanced hospital where she was expected to get better care.
Ms. Usiobaifo revealed that Habiba had become so deformed before her death that it was “extremely difficult” to recognize her.
The mother of the deceased is inconsolable and the suspect is still free. Police at the Igarra division in Akoko-Edo, Edo State, has reportedly made repeated attempts to capture the chief, all to no avail.
