The Enugu State Government says it has moved Miss Ukamaka Okonkwo, the lucky girl that was rescued from the dungeon of Obi Levi Obieze, the alleged ritualist and kidnapper at Ndiagu Umumba in Ezeagu LGA of the state to a government facility for therapy and rehabilitation.

The Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development, Mrs. Ngozi Enih, who made this known on Sunday, said that this was at the instance of the state governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, given the trauma she must have ed through.

Mrs. Enih said the governor has also awarded a scholarship to Miss Okonkwo that would see her through education from her present class to the university.

“We travelled to Ndiagu Umumba, Ezeagu LGA, today at the governor’s instance to meet with parents of Ukamaka, and to bring her to Enugu where she will undergo the necessary therapy and be fully rehabilitated. You can imagine the level of trauma this young girl must have ed through.

“So, the government wants to ensure that she bounces back fully in the shortest possible time. Therefore, the Ministry of Children,Gender Affairs and Social Development, will be responsible for providing therapies and counselling to her before reintegrating her back into the society.

“The Governor has also graciously awarded a scholarship to her, which is to see her through university education from her current class. This is just a way of reassuring her and her parents that they are not alone and to equally put smiles on their faces. Government wants to ensure that she fulfils her glorious destiny because this is a destined child.

“In addition, a government delegation visited Mr. Theophilus
Ezih and Mrs. Chinenye Ezih, parents of the deceased boy, Chimaobi Ezih, at Agba Umana in Ezeagu LGA to commiserate with them over the unfortunate incident. We share their pains,” she stated.

She, however, said that the identity of the pregnant woman also found dead in the Ndiagu Umumba dungeon was yet to be identified to be able to trace her relatives. She assured that the government and the relevant security were working on it, maintaining that all the culprits would be brought to book.

“As you are well aware, this is a government that has zero tolerance for crime. Government has already demolished the property linked to these dastardly acts in line with extant laws of Enugu State.

“The police and other security agencies are working with the government to track down and bring back those still at large to face justice. That is the only way to appease the spirits and souls of the deceased and to get our society rid of such crimes,” she concluded.

Also on the government’s delegation to the affected families were the Deputy Chairman of Ezeagu Local Government Council, Hon. Nkiru Ugwuagu, and the Head, Child Department, Ministry of Children,Gender Affairs and Social Development, Mrs. Clementina Ogbu.

I pray this event changes the story in her life and that of her family.

God uses different means to bless people. Imagine her blessings coming from a near death experience in the hands of the wicked ones who would have later blamed it on herdsm3n killing their people.

Thanks to that immigration guy for arresting him. He is an example of people who truly believe in making Nigeria work in action and deeds and not ones that pay lip service and rather destroy their own country institutions from judicatory , to INEC to glitch JAMB to even justifying government agencies like nafdac collecting bribes of 700- 1m to open Onitsha traders shops for breaking no laws….awon nigeria love indeed

Why rush to demolish before completing investigations. Certain exhibits and evidences would have been destroyed.

Or is someone trying to cover up something?

Good.
Hope he takes more proactive steps to make sure that there are no similar characters like this one in the whole of Enugu state.. It is evil what this mad man did. It is even more frightening to think that there might be other characters like him elsewhere in the country.

On another note .., I hope we are all learning from this very event. How the media has focused on the story non stop, as they should. Reminds you of Otokoto, Okija shrine. Blow by blow analysis. The.media has RIGHTLY refused to allow the story die.

Have you wondered why there are seldom any follow ups narratives when similar stories are coming from say Ogun state or Soka forest ibadam? You just read the first newsflash, and you won't hear anything about the case again. Infact recently, someone arrested for killing a lady for ritual purposes, disappeared from prisons and the media were confused on how to report the events..

That's the power of the media. The socalled Nigeria Guild of Editors. They sit in one dingy room and decide which story that should be publicised, depending on how such stories improves the image of a favoured section of the country, or how such story damages the image of another section of the country.

The power of edited narratives..
