A 15-year-old girl has been left with traumatic genital injury after she was repeatedly raped by four men in Imo State.
An Owerri Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, August 3, 2023, remanded the four suspects, Amarachi Nwodo, 39, David Ajuka, 22, Chima Uwandu, 43, and Osinachi Okoro, 22, to a correctional centre.
A journalist, Chidiebube Okeoma, who confirmed the latest development, said her private parts are badly damaged and already decaying.
According to him, the minor was admitted to Umuguma Specialist General Hospital in Owerri and has been booked for more examinations, laboratory tests and will see surgeons on Monday, August 7.
“What a day! I just drove out of the Umuguma Specialists General hospital, now, having taken the minor who was repeatedly defiled by four men to the hospital. It was marathon engagements for me today running from the Emergency Unit, to the pharmaceutical department to the accounts office back and forth. Though her case is very delicate but she has been booked for more examinations and laboratory tests tomorrow and to see surgeons on Monday. Though her private part is badly damaged but I believe that God will see her through. Before leaving, I took her mother to a supermarket to get her provisions, food and toiletries. Special thanks to Dr Uche Ewelike and Chizitere Ahubelem for your concerns. God bless you. Please let us join hands to save this girl’s life,” he wrote.
