“We came back from Nkwoegu Isu Market around 10:00pm; my sister went to the front of our house to make phone calls. I went inside the house with my mom, some minutes later, a strange number called my mom on phone that she should rush outside to look for my sister; that he was speaking with my sister on the phone when she started shouting and her phone went off,” she said
The State Coordinator of the Gender Based Violence Taskforce, Mrs.
Faithvin Nwanchor stated that they got the information about the incident last week, stating that they are working to see if the family have reported to the police for action to be taken about it since it’s not yet clear whether arrest has been made or not.
“People who came from Isu reported the matter to me, but we don’t really have much information about it because I need to know whether they have been arrested or reported to police. I will call to know whether it has been reported,” she said.
