A 12 -year- old girl (name withheld) who was allegedly stabbed in the arm and subjected to varied degree of cruelty by her guardian , a food vendor, has sadly been returned to the abode of her " abusive" guardian by policemen attached to the Gender Unit Lagos state police command after she was rescued by spirited Nigerians.
A rights group , Advocates For Children and Vulnerable Persons Network ACVPN who raised the alarm over the plight of the girl said a mandated reporter who spoke with the girl stated that the girl revealed that it was her aunty( guardian) that beat and stabbed her .
ACVPN said "According to the mandated reporter she claimed the victim further revealed that her Aunty one Amaka Chukwudi a food vendor is in the habit of torturing her by stabbing her at any slightest mistake she made.
The mandated reporter stated she and other concerned Nigerians took the victim to the Ago Palace Way Police Station and the case was handled by the Officer in Charge of the Gender Depart of the Station. The perpetrator was duly arrested and detained . She was transferred to the Gender Unit IKEJA Police Command for prosecution however, few days later, the mandated reporter was very surprised to hear that the perpetrator was not prosecuted rather the victim was returned to the monstrous wicked woman . The question now is where is the name survivor fit in all of this.?If a division could diligently apprehend such a dangerous child abuser and exploiter , Gender Unit is expected to be the finest but reverse was to this case"
We say A BIG NO to this INJustice because as we all know FORGIVENESS IS A TERRIBLE SIN, Justice must be duly served , where is the Ministry of youth and social Development MYSD ALAUSA IKEJA in all of this ? Or the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs IKEJA?
@ OC Gender IKEJA @ MYSD @ WAPA."
