The father of the young victim, Nnachi  Ndukwe, while lamenting the calamity that has befallen his beloved child, said he was shocked when he aw blood gushing out of the private part of his child and on interrogation, the girl said that it was Pa Nnachi who defiled her.

Ndukwe said:

"I came back from work and saw people gathered in my compound and when I asked what happened, they narrated the incident to me.

Then I asked to see my daughter and when she was brought to me, I saw blood coming from her private part.

I don’t blame the man, I blame my wife who left me and married another man. Since she left there has been noone around to take proper care of my children."
