“As Human Rights Advocacy group We believe that the best way to salvage the emotion of the little girl who has been in serious pains after the incident is to ensure a directly proportional punishment is meted out to the suspect inline with the law.
“Civil Rights Council team who visited the victim and her family last Friday is still in shock at the level of physical and emotional damage done to the girl by the suspect.
“We use this medium to draw the attention of the International Federation of Women Lawyers(FIDA), NAWOJ, NUJ and Nigerians of good conscience to the plight of the 13 years old girl.
“We equally commend Comrade Frank Nzube Weli, the President of Rumuodara Youth and his entire executives for ensuring the arrest of David Amawhule after painstaking efforts.”
