A suspected ritual killer who reportedly abducted a three-year-old girl in Ikang, headquarters of Bakassi Local Government Area of Cross River State, is currently cooling off at the police cell.
The suspect was said to have kidnapped the girl while she was playing with her peers on February 28, and hurriedly took her to a nearby forest where it was discovered that he purportedly inflicted injuries on the victim. He allegedly forced a stick into the little girl’s vagina.
Help came to the girl after it was noticed that she is missing. Residents immediately raised the alarm and a search party combed the nearby forest where the suspected ritual killer was apprehended.
The Punch reports he was already wrecking havoc on the child’s body.
The state Police Command spokesman, Mr. John Eluu said the suspect is currently in detention and investigations are ongoing.
The girl is now undergoing several surgeries at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, UCTH.
