Efforts are being made to a rescue a 14-year-old girl who who was allegedly forced to marry a 50-year-old prophet in Benue state.
According
to a report, two weeks ago, the Behind Bars Initiative (BBI) received a
complaint of Child Marriage/ChildAbuse concerning the girl’s plight.
The
teenage girl simply identified as Nonye, from Kwale in Delta State, was
allegedly handed over to the prophet by her own parents. According to
report, the girl is now mentally unstable.
