Enugu State Government says it has relocated Miss Ukamaka Okonkwo, the girl rescued from the dungeon of Obi Levi Obieze, the alleged ritualist and kidnapper at Ndiagu Umumba in Ezeagu Local Government Area to a government facility for therapy and rehabilitation.
The state’s Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development, Mrs. Ngozi Enih said the development was at the instance of the state governor, Doctor Peter Mbah, given the trauma the girl must have passed through.
Mrs. Enih said the governor has also awarded a scholarship to Miss Okonkwo which would see her through education from her present class to the university.
The state government delegation also visited Mr. Theophilus Ezih and Mrs. Chinenye Ezih, parents of a deceased boy, Chimaobi Ezih linked to the suspected ritualist at Agba Umana in Ezeagu LGA to commiserate with them over the unfortunate incident.
