station is still playing around the truth.,It's not only the Elemoro
police station responsible for the delay, the Ajah MYSD social worker

condition. Recall Elemoro police station quickly transferred the case to
the SCID GENDER UNIT without the Perpetrators In an attempt to the dump
case with SCID PANTI.The transfer was however rejected with an
instruction that the Survivor should remain with the mandated reporter
with a police extract pending when the Perpetrators are arrested.
Since
then Elemoro police station has has not acted on the Gender Anti-Human
