The Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare is appealing to members of the public for assistance in identifying and reuniting a rescued young girl with her family.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that
the girl was rescued from an uncompleted building near St. Faith’s Anglican Church, UNIZIK Temp-Site, Awka, following a distress report received by the Ministry. At the time of her rescue, she was found in a mentally unstable condition and without shelter.
In a press release, the ministry noted that
preliminary findings indicate that the girl was repeatedly subjected to molestation and sexual abuse by unknown individuals while she remained at the location. She is currently in the custody of the Ministry, where she is receiving medical attention, protection, and psychosocial care.
Unfortunately, due to her present mental state, she has been unable to provide information regarding her identity, parents, relatives, or place of origin.
The Ministry therefore earnestly appeals to community leaders, residents, religious organisations, and members of the public who may recognise the girl or have any useful information about her family to come forward. Any information received will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and acted upon promptly.
“Anyone with relevant information is kindly requested to contact the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare through 07068580385 or visit the Ministry’s office.
“The Ministry remains steadfast in its commitment to protecting vulnerable persons, safeguarding the rights of women and children, and ensuring that every rescued victim receives the care, justice, and support they deserve’. The release noted.
