Ebonyi State government Monday raised the alarm over the whereabouts of the 15-year-old girl Uzoamaka Chukwu.
Uzoamaka was stripped naked, laid on broken bottles and flogged with electricity cables by some members of her Uburu community on the allegation that she was caught making love with a man in her father’s compound.
A local gin known as kaikai was poured in her private part after the torture while the video and her nude pictures were circulated on the social media by the suspects.
The Coordinator of Ohaozara West Dvelopment Centre, Ene Odii, his two brothers and three police officers were last week arraigned before a magistrate’s court in Okposi Development Centre, Ohaozara Local Government Area and later granted bail while the matter was adjourned to 13th of next month.
But during a visit to the girl’s home Monday, Governor Dave Umahi raised the alarm over whereabouts of the girl.
According to him, the state government has no clue of her whereabouts and should not be blamed if anything happens to her.
“The matter is before a competent court jurisdiction but from what we saw we feel very bad as a government and as a people and as brothers and sisters of the little Uzoamaka. We feel that it is a gross violation of her rights and man’s inhumanity to man.
“So we are very sad about it that is why I directed that all of us should come to take over the responsibility of the girl. So government is asking wherever she is, she should come back so that we take over her training from secondary school to university level. We will also rehabilitate her.”
