For the intervention of concerned residents and the Officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development, 14-year old girl may have been tortured to death in Mushin community, Lagos Mainland.
InsideMainland gathered that the teenager, Unwana Emmanuel, who is being tortured, with deep wounds inflicted on her body by her guardian was rescued by the officials from the Ministry following a text message sent by an anonymous person to the Child Protection Unit of the Ministry.
The victim had been under severe torture for 16 months since she started living with her guardian, simply known as Mummy Chidera, the Ministry officials said. She was found battered with scars all over her body.
Unwana, who resides at 6, Alamu Close, Surulere, Lagos Mainland, since July 2016 relocated to Lagos from Akwa Ibom due to her parent’s inability to provide her education, leaving her with Mummy Chidera who had since then continuously abused her physical and at some times delayed her going to school.
The enforcement officers of the Ministry, upon their arrival at the residence of the victim at Mushin/Isolo Local Government, learnt that the girl was in school. She confirmed the abuse to the officials during interrogation, InsideMainland learnt.
