A 9-year-old girl in Migori County was allegedly raped by her uncle seven times. According to Citizen Digital, the mother and the daughter are fearing for their lives after the man threatened to harm them should the matter reach the public.
The two have been forced to go into hiding at a Good Samaritan’s home after they received the threats from the accused.
The girl, who is in class two, had reportedly been raped by the uncle but she didn’t inform the mother of the pain she was going through because she feared for her life.
The seventh time the girl was raped left her with serious injuries hence the expose of the fateful ordeal.
The man, whose name has not been revealed, allegedly threatened to kill the two family members on Tuesday after he realized that the matter was no longer a secret anymore. The family had also said that it would report the issue to the police for an action to be taken against him.
The woman was compelled to take the daughter to the Migori Level Four Hospital for treatment before she went on to report the matter at Central Police Station.
The matter has continued to elicit mixed reactions from different quarters. Migori County Human Rights Activists leader George Chacha has faulted the police over laxity.
