A Human Rights group (Behind Bars Right Initiative) that swung into action after learning of the girl’s situation from a source, said they met the girl laid helpless with septic wounds and scars all over her body parts.

“We quickly swung into action, got to Awka and rescued the little girl from the dungeon where she laid helpless with septic wounds and scars all over her face and body,” the Right group said.
