The residents of Ikang in Bakassi Local Government Area,
Cross River State, are yet to recover from shock after one of their daughters;
a 3-year-old child, was abducted by a suspected ritual killer, and raped with a
stick.
He was caught inflicting wounds on the child at a place not
faraway from where a 1-year-old child was found, murdered.
PUNCH reports that on February 28, the child was playing
with her mates when she was taken by the unnamed man. In a nearby forest, the
man reportedly forced a stick into the child’s vagina, and was discovered by
people who went in search of the girl.
After being caught, the man was handed over to the police,
while another group hurried the injured child to the University of Calabar
Teaching Hospital.
