A man who is yet to be identified allegedly violated a six-year-old girl within the premises of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Aba, Abia State.
Anastasia Uchenna Odochi, a journalist, confirmed the incident in a Facebook post over the weekend after visiting the minor.
According to her, the victim is currently receiving medical treatment in a pharmacy as her mother can’t afford to take her to a hospital due to lack of funds.
Mrs Odochi further disclosed that the victim’s mother, who sells roasted corn in front of the church, has been told to leave the spot following the incident.
“She is a mother of FOUR kids. It’s not enough that you defiled her daughter; you have disrupted her only source of income. Jesus. Dear Abia First Lady, Priscilla Otti, Churches are shielding pedophiles,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, in a video posted by the journalist, the victim narrated how the suspect lured her into his house within the church and defiled her.
