Father of 8-year-old girl murdered by UNIPORT undergraduate recounts how his daughter was killed

    According to Mr Mezuoba, he left for work on Friday then returned home at about 3 p.m. to be informed that his daughter was missing. A search began immediately but when she still wasn't found, they reported to the police and were told to call back after 24 hours.

   However, at around 1:30 a.m. some vigilantes came to tell him they had seen his daughter and asked him to follow them to see the suspect who kidnapped the girl. Mr. Mezuoba, rushed out in his shorts with the security men. He was told the suspect was caught carrying a sack at about 1:10 a.m and when he was confronted by security men, he said he wanted to take it to the dustbin but when they searched, human remains were found in it.

   The father of the victim said he was shocked when he turned to look at the suspect and discovered who it was. He said he was devastated seeing his daughter's body and what had been done to it.  "When I looked (at) the sack, I said 'where's my daughter?' They showed me the sack bag. As I opened it, I saw my daughter. I peeped, I watched very well, the two eyes are off. The tongue is off. One of the breasts is off. The two fingers, the small one, is off. And if you watch at the center here ( he points to his forehead) he carved out here (the forehead). I start shouting, saying this is not ordinary. This boy decided to use my child for ritual," the father of the deceased told newsmen.
