Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has called for the return of the 15-year-old student, Uzoamaka Chukwu who was recently brutalized in a viral video.
It will be recalled Uzoamaka Chukwu was adopted by a woman named Ms Rita Nnenna Anoh few days ago.
The Governor reportedly made the call to the state when he paid her family a visit at their Umunaga Uburu residence.
According to the governor, her return would enable the state government to take full responsibility for her rehabilitation and training while noting that she must return within seven days or be declared wanted.
The chief press secretary to the governor, Emma Anya, quotes Umahi: “Government is asking that wherever she is, she should come back so that we can take over her training from secondary school to university level. We will also be able to rehabilitate her.”
The Governor, however, noted that what government was doing was in no way going to stop the case in court, stressing that the case in court will continue to run its course.
