Two days ago we reported how the victim, Ita Bassey-Eno, was set ablaze and was in the throes of death because of the severe burns she suffered....see the sad story HERE.

Mrs Esther Ogwu, Executive Director, Esther Child Rights Foundation, the non governmental organisation, NGO, fighting for justice for the child, confirmed that the little girl had eventually died, and that the NGO would ensure that the alleged culprit was punished.

She added that nurses at the hospital said the little girl died around 2.00 a.m. today as she could not survive the excruciating pains caused by the severe burns on her body.
