Wife of Anambra state governor Dr Nonye Soludo has pledged to take full responsibility for rehabilitation of 10-year-old boy who suffered assault in the hand of his guardians in Awada, Obosi.
She also vowed to ensure the boy was given every opportunity to heal physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
Describing the act as gruesome, the governor’s wife requested that those connected to the heinous act be brought to justice, including the arrest of the suspect’s husband to answer for a crime that occurred under his roof.
She said, “I’m deeply saddened and disturbed by the horrific abuse allegedly suffered by the 10-year-old boy in the hand of his guardians in Awada, Obosi.
“No child, whatever their crime, deserves to endure such cruelty, and as a mother, I find the images and reports from the incident deeply troubling.
“Following this development, I’ve spoken with the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Afam Obidike, and appealed that the child be moved from his current hospital to a more suitable medical facility where he can receive optimum treatment, specialized care, and every support necessary for his recovery.
“I’ve also pledged to take full responsibility for his rehabilitation and ensure that he is given every opportunity to heal physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
“Furthermore, I have requested that all those connected to this heinous act be brought to justice, including the arrest of the suspect’s husband to answer for a crime that occurred under his roof.
“Those responsible must face the full weight of the law. Anambra State, under this administration, maintains zero tolerance for any form of abuse against children and women, and I will personally follow up on this case to ensure that justice is rightly served.
“We must all remain vigilant and speak up whenever we witness abuse, because every child deserves protection, dignity, and love. I really thank everyone who spoke up and brought this heinous act into light.”
