Mr Chika Ojiegbe, Chief Press Secretary to Mrs Ikpeazu, said the girl named Ada, was rescued after 24 hours surveillance around their home by NSCDC operatives and thereafter taken custody of by the Vicar Home Foundation with a view to facilitating expert psychiatric evaluation to ascertain her condition before giving her necessary medical treatment.

According to the girl’s mother, Blessing, who was arrested, claimed her daughter had a mental challenge and that she had to chain her to prevent her from wandering.

Coordinator of the State Child Protection Network, Apostle Innocent Akomas, who collaborated in effecting the rescue of the girl, decried the attitude of the girl’s mother in dehumanising the young girl, and commended NSCDC for its quick prompt response when the Vicar Hope Foundation and the Child Protection Network called upon them.

The Public Relations Officer of the state NSCDC command, Mr. Ndukwe Agu, said the State Commandant, Dr Vincent Ogu, had already directed a thorough investigation of the incident.
