Her father who is identified as Mr Congolese Saccoh, is living in the U.S. and had been trying to take Kadijah, a U.S. citizen, with him to the U.S. but couldn’t because a Judge prevented him from doing so as the mother was not in support.
Because of this Kadijah had to remain with her aunt who is the second sister to her mother.
Their cousin brother whose name withheld took the opportunity to rape them.
When her aunt found out her son had raped Kadijah’s sister, she hid it from the children’s parents and treated the girl herself.
