The Anambra State government has rescued one Ms. Tania Ijeoma Okpala, a former US-based tennis champion who was found wandering the streets of the state capital.

Okpala was over the weekend captured in a viral video on social media by a good spirited member of the public.

Ms. Okpala looked distressed and unstable in the said video, prompting the quick response by the Anambra State Government to rescue, rehabilitate, and reunite her with her family.

According to the Women Affairs Commissioner, Ify Obinabo, the ministry swung into action after receiving a directive from Governor Chukwuma Soludo and the wife.

A statement on the ministry’s social media page said, “while interacting with Tania over the phone, Mrs Soludo assured her that the state government will not forsake her and informed her that she would get the best treatment and rehabilitation to enable her to bounce back.

“Mrs Soludo further assured her that the state government will ensure her full recovery and re-integration into society.

“While explaining her ordeal to the first lady, Ms Okpala who hails from Nkpologwu in Aguata Local Government Area area of the state said she’s a US-based tennis champion but due to bad peer influence became a crack cocaine addict.

“She also explained that she had the best of education in and outside the country.

“Ms Okpala, whose mother was from Belarus, said she lost her mother to cancer a few years ago and ever since has not been able to get over her demise.”

The statement added that the former US-based tennis champion has a 6-year-old daughter currently staying with her father in Nkpologwu.

She urged the governor’s wife to help her reunite with her daughter.

It’s well

Thanks for sharing

Honestly there are more than a thousand and one things to learn from this real life story.

We hope things turn around for her.

Hmmm

It's good knowing that all finally went well with Tanya.

At least she would be getting another shot at living a decent life with her daughter.

Somebody should ensure that Liberian doesn't come 10km near her perimeter.

"You came to see her on instruction".

So if the first lady did not send you, you don't know your job as commissioner for women affairs?

I watched the video now.. felt for her

Ok cool.
The same energy, time and resource they invested in the rescue mission (probably cause she's rich), they should also invest that same energy,time and resource im rescuing the poor or less privileged.
Them kidnap poor man, government don't give a fucck.
Them kidnap rich man, government swing into action., lol wat a country.

It is a lesson sha. While you are in the system manage your finances, while it is praiseworthy for government or the people to come aid, no on ewes you anything

Glad she was able to get help

Knew it has to be drug addiction related. Shes gone. No remedy

God bless Soludo for this .. giving Governance good face

audio help, it always better the masses help than the government cause people always take it up like they want to see the best of her but once u get in the hands of the government they will just use u for publicity and abandoned you and the masses has tot it better for you with the government
