Residence of a town decided to carry out street justice when they found a missing girl in the home of a pastor.
This came after he was accused of abducting and impregnating a 10-year-old girl from the community.
The girl went missing in February and the community came together to search for her, but their efforts were in vain as they were unable to locate the missing child.
Her desperate family never gave up hope and searched for her every day. On April 30, the missing child’s mother spotted her.
She saw her daughter sweeping the compound that belonged to the pastor.
The mother informed the community leaders and efforts were made to rescue the child from his home.
After storming the pastor’s compound, he was stripped of his shorts and flogged publicly. He was then handed over to the police.
After watching his abductor being beaten, the victim was returned to her family, who soon discovered that she was raped by the pastor. The girl is now pregnant.
The girl told her parents that the pastor forced her to hide whenever her classmates passed his home so that no one would find her.
