The Nigerian man identified as Chief Shedrack Ejinwa is reported to have forcibly had sex with the youngster, and when she was taken to the Kendox Medical Services in Port Harcourt, Rivers State for treatment, wife of the hospital owner allegedly asked her to keep her ordeal secrete.

However, a Facebook user reportedly hinted rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu about the development, and he got the alleged rapist and the wife of the hospital’s medical director arrested.
