A man allegedly defiled a four-year-old girl in Kontagora area of Niger State, after abducting her from her parents while they all slept in front of their house as a result of the hot weather condition.
According to a report by PUNCH, when the parents woke up, they could not find the girl and thought she sleep-walked while they were asleep.
However, they raised an alarm which led their neighbors to search for the little girl.
It reportedly took several hours before a neighbour found the missing girl at a refuse dump site with blood running down her thigh.
Following this discovery, the rescue team suspected the worst and took her back to her father.
The girl’s father describing what happened, said: “We were outside our house due to the heat, but I later told the family to go inside because the breeze had started blowing and before long I went into the house to sleep.

“I woke up again and noticed that they were still sleeping, so I woke them up to enter the house because it was also getting late.
When they entered, my wife said she didn’t see one of my daughters. So we started looking for her, thinking she must have woken up and entered another place in her deep-sleep condition.
“When we couldn’t find her, it was then it dawned on us that someone must have carried her away while we were asleep.
