Governor Mbah relocates Umumba ritual victim to Enugu, wards her scholarship up to university level

The Enugu State Government has disclosed that it has moved Miss Ukamaka Okonkwo, Obi Levi Obieze, the girl who was rescued from the dungeon of the alleged ritualist and kidnapper at Umumba-Ndiagu 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 the hesture was at the instance of Governor Mbah, given the trauma the little virl must have passed 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.

According to her: “We travelled to Umumba-Ndiagu, Ezeagu LGA, today at the governor’s instance to meet with the 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 passed through.

“So, the government wants to ensure 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 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, however, said that the identity of the pregnant woman also found dead in the Umumba-Ndiagu dungeon was yet to be identified to be able to trace her relatives. 

She assured that the government and security agencies 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 added.

Also on the delegation 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.
