He said unfortunately, the minor was deceitfully taken to Burkina Faso for prostitution.
According to him, Chiamaka was told on getting there that she was bought with N150,000 and that she will make N1.2 million for her madam and equally work extra months to earn her freedom.
According to him, the culprits, a man, his wife and two of her relatives who lured the girl to Delta State before moving her to Burkina Faso has been arrested by a team of policemen and the Ebonyi Forum in Delta State has been arrested and are currently facing trial in court.
The chairman assured the commissioner that the forum will not rest until justice is served, in order to serve as a deterrent to others who would want to engage in such evil acts.
In his reaction, the commissioner, Mrs. Okah while receiving the little Chiamaka promised the state government’s readiness to ensure that the welfare of its citizenry is protected.
She appreciated their prompt response when they got the information about her, and also ensured that the case was taken to court for justice to take its full course, noting that not everyone would have done so, especially for a stranger.
She, however, assured them that the State Government will ensure that the victim is well taken care of and also promised to make her dream of going back to school a reality.
Okah appreciated Ikwo LGA Chairman for his response and prompt actions on the matter.
Receiving the girl, the chairman of Ikwo Local Government Area, Elder Steve Orogwu, who was represented by the vice chairman, Onyinye Nweke, thanked God for saving Chiamaka’s life and bringing her back home safely.
