The Elele Community of Ikwerre Local Government Area, Rivers State witnessed the death of a 9 year-old girl who was raped to death by unidentified persons. Simply identified as Miracle, PM News reports that the deceased was abducted at about 5 pm on Wednesday, 13 January by yet to be identified rapists while returning from an errand for her mother.
According to eyewitnesses, her mother had sent her to buy some food stuffs 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. Although a search party set out looking for her, they never found 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.
Investigations revealed 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.
