After she reportedly went missing in Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta, 12-year-old Blessing Ineh, has been found alive inside a soakaway.

She was found inside a soakaway located behind her family house on Tuesday, January 5, after a child heard her whimpering and raised an alarm.

According to reports by popular Warri online news portal, Warri Aproko, the young girl was abducted by three men, allegedly stabbed on the back and her throat slit before she was dumped in the soakaway.
