An eight-year-old primary school girl has been raped to death by unknown persons in Ikot Ekang, Etinan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.
The incident took place on Tuesday night when she was sent on errand by her grandfather at about 6.30 pm.
It was learnt that the grandfather, Mr Enobong Wilson, raised alarm when the girl did not return three hours after she left the house.
Her corpse was eventually found on Wednesday morning near an uncompleted building in the village.
The girl was a pupil of Christian Victory Nursery and Primary School located in the village.
The village head, Chief Ekere Akpan, said that he “reported the matter to the police who came to the scene and took the corpse away”.
“The police are doing their investigation and as the village head I will give them all the necessary support to ensure that the culprit is brought to book.
“The blood of the innocent girl will not go in vain,” Akpan said.
