Six days ago, a 20-year old girl was raped in a catholic church in the Sacred Heart, Uwani, Enugu. The rape was committed by a security guard that works for the church. According to Emeka Ugwuonye, one priest exposed the crime and standards for justice, and has sworn to say the truth. Other priests wanted to cover up the crime.
The priests that allegedly covered up the crime were contacted by lawyers after the matter was exposed.
According to reports, the girl is currently sick probably because of the heavy cocktail of medication that the doctor had to give her after the incident.
Emeka revealed that when the girl was taken to the hospital, the doctor said that any test done on the girl as to STD would not show any result because the incident just occurred. And without knowing what she might have contracted from the man, it will not be clear what to try to avoid.
The doctor suggested that the best way would be to bring the man for test. If the man was found to have HIV, the doctors would take measures to flush it out of the girl to prevent her from getting it. It was not wise to give her such medication without there being the probability of her contracting it.
But the priests refused to release the man for testing. Without testing the man, the doctors had to give medication to prevent all known STDs. That was too much for the little girl. She is down. She depressed and she is in trauma.
