The man who allegedly masterminded the torture of 15-year-old Uzoamaka Chukwu, a Junior Secondary School Two (JSS2), in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Ogbonnaya Ene Odi, said to be the Coordinator of Ohaozara Development Centre, has been remanded in police custody, on the orders of the state Governor, David Umahi, who expressed his dismay on the treatment the poor orphan girl was made to go through.
The
disgusting act came to public light when a video of the dehumanizing
scene was posted on the social media where the girl was stripped naked and flogged severely on the allegations that she had brought home one of her lovers to have sex with her.
Further
investigations later unveiled that the girl was actually innocent of
the crimes she was accused of, as the man in question was not her father
but Odi, who had ordered his brother, Enekwachi Ene Odi, and his police orderlies to deal with the girl because she refused to sleep with him.
Governor
Umahi, in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Emma
Anya, said he had directed the police to ensure that all the
perpetrators of the inhuman crime were arrested and properly
investigated with a view to bringing those guilty to justice, while
promising to make sure the girl is rehabilitated.
