A mentally-ill girl has been released from a room where she reportedly chained by her mother in the Arochukwu area of Abia State.

The teenager simply called Ada was said to have been locked in a room with a chain round her neck and limbs.

She was rescued on Sunday by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in collaboration with Vicar Hope Foundation and the Child Protection Network; a non-government organisation run by Mrs Nkechi Ikpeazu, wife of the state governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

The rescue took place at the weekend in Umuokoro Obinkita Arochukwu Local Government Area of the state..

Most times I really don't blame ignorant parents for thinking they are doing their best using these crude methods on their wards.
The Nigerian society is living in denial of mental health challenges. Families with mental health issues are stigmatized. Our pastors act as health professionals. Govt look the other way.
How many mental health institutions do we have in Nigeria?
Parents are left with little or no choice. Seek out pastors and native drs. Do what they were instructed to do or handle it their own way. Mostly people with mental health problems are tagged witches and wizards and treated so.

Poverty is another contributing factor. You haven't seen money to eat yet, not to talk of flying someone out for psychiatric treatment as Nigeria don't have such hospitals yet.
Yaba left isn't a standard psychiatric hospital and it's supposed to be our number 1 mental health institution.

The Nigeria We live in. Everybody is after national cake.
Good luck to us. We really need that
