LAGOS JULY 11TH (URHOBOTODAY)-An unbelievable incident which can aptly be tagged as heinous, has happened in the north central state of Plateau in Nigeria
In a remote and sleepy hamlet of Kanke local government, a little girl of five (name not disclosed) was found to be pregnant.
According to the child’s parents, the perpetrator of the bizarre act is not known but the police has begun an investigation with the view to unravel the mystery, and identity of the man or men behind the heinous crime.
However, other sources (the locals) believe the girl was likely to have been impregnated by a close family relative.
Speaking further, the parents of the girl told newsmen that a few months ago, the poor child began to complain of excruciating pains in her groin.
They, however, didn’t pay attention to it, probably dismissing it as symptoms of overfeeding or childhood worms.
This changed however when after a while, they noticed that her breasts were developing.
Still, they attributed it to early adolescence.
Their fears were confirmed after tests were carried out on her when they noticed her protuberant tummy.
The pregnancy test came back positive.
The locals and family of the girl are still in a state of shock which is quite rational considering the girl’s age and biological status.
Investigations are still ongoing as at the time of this report
