Story of 10-year-old girl who was allegedly ‘beaten to death’ by her guardian in Enugu

Jerry Achirkpi from Benue State, has shared the full story about the disappearance of his 10-year-old daughter.

In the post titled: ‘The full story of my missing daughter, Precious Korshima’, Jerry said that a Port Harcourt-based woman identified as Mrs Nelly Okoroafor approached him in March 2022.

Mrs Okoroafor pleaded with him to give her his daughter to train in school through her friend, Mrs Ujunwa Benaihils and in return, the minor would look after Mrs Ujunwa’s newborn baby.

He agreed and sent his daughter to Mrs Ujunwa, who lives in Enugu State.

Things took a bad turn on the 10th November, 2022, when he received a strange call from an unknown caller using Mrs. Ujunwa’s phone number.

The caller claimed that his daughter was kidnapped alongside Mrs Ujunwa and her own child.

The alleged abductors demanded N20m ransom as a condition to release his daughter but he told him that Precious was only a house help to Mrs Ujunwa.

However, Mrs Ujunwa and her own daughter were allegedly released from the kidnapper’s den and Precious was alleged to have been murdered.

Upon her reported arrest and interrogation, the suspect admitted that she beat Precious to death and dumped her body in a bush near a community called Ituku Ozalla in Enugu State.

A man claiming to be the chief in Ituku Ozalla told the police that he had directed youths in the community to bury the corpse but instead they burnt it.

I was informed by the alleged kidnappers that my little daughter was kidnapped with MRS. UJUNWA BENAIHILS together with her daughter. The alleged kidnappers requested I should pay ransom of N20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Naira) Only.

I pleaded with the alleged kidnapper that my little daughter was only but a house help let me get in touch with the family of MRS. UJUNWA BENAIHILS.

I did get in touch with MRS. UJUNWA’S family but they all feigned ignorance or the alleged kidnap including her husband who stay abroad
