The suspects arrested include the father of the girl and a clergyman. We collaborated with security officers and arrested the suspects,” Otago said. The girl fell sick and instead of taking her to hospital, her parents resolved to hold prayers for her healing. “The clergyman proposed to hold prayers for the girl in enclosed place outside their home compound to exorcise demons. He reportedly convinced the parents and left with the girl before he committed the offence,” Otago said.
