The family of a girl raped who reportedly suffered sexual abuse in the hands of an elderly man have opted to settle with the suspect instead of pursuing justice in a courthouse.
A 14-year-old girl has reportedly contracted a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) from sexual abuse by a 74-year-old man who is now in detention.
In a social media post the parents have opted to settle out of court despite objection from residents of a Warri community where the incident occurred.
A rights activist Israel Joe confirms that the victim tested positive to STD.
