The Anambra State Government has issued a warning to neighbouring states, who reportedly dump mentally challenged persons in the state.


Anambra State Commissioner for Children and Women’s Affairs, Mrs Ndidi Mezue, who recounted how the state had rehabilitated over 100 persons within a short while, aid because some states had noticed that the State had a rehabilitation programme for mentally challenged persons and other destitute people, they have decided to dump them with reckless abandon.

According to Mrs Ndidi who spoke with Punch's correspondent, most of the rehabilitated people were from other states.

“Most of the individuals who were picked up from different locations in Anambra State were people from neighbouring states, who were dropped off in Anambra State by unknown individuals.

“The ministry will do all it can to rid the streets of Anambra State of destitute and mentally-challenged people. The manner in which such people are brought into Anambra State to carry out illicit activities like begging and wandering is disgusting" she said.

“It is not easy to manage such persons. One of the mentally challenged persons was  tracked from the UNIZIK junction, Awka to Amawbia before the team were able to apprehend him. From the information gathered from the boy who is probably in his early twenties, it was revealed that he is from Edo State.

“The subsequent raid that was carried out under the Aroma flyover, Awka, netted an elderly mentally challenged woman, who explained that she is from Lagos State, and was dropped off in the state, by her uncle" she added.

Lol

ffuck this nigga above. Aint like you have something sensible to say.

Omanbala has worked very hard to put resources in place for rehabilitation of the mentally challenged and to rid our street of this nuisance only for our irresponsible neighbors to keep littering my father's land. We should issue a warning and sternly direct it to these people and next time it happened we will ship these psychos back to their states. Anambra nnem can't keep using our lean resources to bail foreigners out.

Ononenyi nwa.

Our mentality self. don't you think that they need treatment and care. People living with mental illness need our support and respect and not maltreatment. That is how its been done in the western world. Let our government and non profit organisations provides accommodation, treatment and care to them not the other way round. Most of them can be properly treated and integrate back to the community.

Ndi ala everywhere.

Very few Ndi Anambra are among these people, we have worked very hard to build rehabilitation facilities just like we completely got rid of exam malpractice. We dont have mad people littered all over the place. Now, tell me where you come from.

The government is trying to rehabilitate ONLY mentally unstable Anambrarians. Tell your people that they should rehabiltate theirs too. And not to dump them in Anambra.

You do a very good job of hating. Lying, deceit and double-faced dealings are rampant in your neck of the woods so you fit the bill of a 'LiePOB' to a Tee.

The state with the highest representation of mad people is Oyo State no doubt. Dem full everywhere for Ibadan.

The entire Skull miners state government should take note..... They should stop dumping mentally challenged skull miners in anambra State..
