The men of the vigilante team also arrested one Miracle, from Calabar in Cross River State who just finished having a carnal knowledge of the little girl.
“This brother, (referring to Mr. Miracle) if I come to his shop, he will insert his private part in my body. He does this almost everyday with the knowledge of my grandmother.
