The father of the girl, Christopher Israel, told City & Crime at the Kubwa General Hospital where the girl is being admitted that the incident happened about two months ago but that the girl was yet to recover from the injuries.
He said the girl, Strong Tochukwu Israel, was initially rushed to a clinic within the community where she was first treated, but with little improvement two month into the incident.
“So, I was advised to take her to the Kubwa General Hospital for another round of treatment two weeks ago,’’ he said.
