The Anambra State Women and Social Welfare Commissioner, Hon. Ify Obinabo has sealed off Arrow of God Community Children’s Home in Onitsha over allegations of illegal adoption and sales of children.

The orphanage was sealed off on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, after an investigative report by one investigative journalist Fisayo Soyombo, made rounds on social media and local television stations alleging that the state ministry of women and social welfare is involved in an illegal adoption of a baby girl alongside one of her registered homes in the state.

Reacting to the news, Hon Obinabo first invited the founder of the home Rev D. C Ogo to her office in Awka which she did not honor.

In the light of the above, the Women Affairs boss in collaboration with the security operatives stormed the orphanage home located at 33 Nkwelle and sealed the home.

Speaking immediately after sealing off the place, Hon Obinabo noted that the ministry is not aware of any adoption with the Arrow of God Orphanage home even as she explained that the adoption process never went through the ministry.

She went ahead to cite some of the irregularities of the said adoption to include absence of three signatories which must be hers, the Head of child and that of the Permanent Secretary of the ministry.

She also stated that since she assumed office, all application for court order of adoption or care goes through the designated Children, Sexual and Gender Based Violence Magistrate court in Awka as against the Nnewi court order presented in the documentary.

“This is so because, the fundamental goal is to preserve the best interest of the child,” she added.

The Commissioner warned other children’s home operators involved in illegal adoption to desist forthwith or face the consequences stating that the state government is all out to clamp down on operators who don't follow the stipulated standardized operational practices and processes in the state.

She therefore charged intending adoptive parents to be careful as unsuspecting persons now parade themselves as ministry's consultants who helps in facilitating adoption reminding the general public that the state ministry of women and social welfare have not engaged the services of any consultant.

She used the opportunity to urge everyone to always report any suspicious activity found in any orphanage homes to the ministry even as she assured of making sure Rev DC Ogo is brought to book in no distant time.

20 children were rescued from the orphanage home, including a newborn while the founder and her staff are currently at large.

The children are within the ages of 1 year to 17 years and they are 10 boys, 9 girls and a newborn.

The children are currently in the care of the state government as necessary steps are underway to trace and reunite them with their different families.

A Commercial Tricyclist has been arrested for allegedly beating his 8-year-old daughter to a coma in Ifite, Awka South local government area of Anambra State.

The Suspect, Chinedu Adim from Lokpa in Abia state, a father of two kids and reportedly abandoned by his wife, was said to have used hard substances to beat the daughter.

He, however, denied the allegations during interrogation, describing the daughter’s condition as spiritual.

Chinedu said: “I was formerly a member of Anambra Vigilante Group (AVG) before I started driving Keke. We married twelve years ago with 2 kids, a girl and a boy, 8 and 6 years old.

“My wife left me 8 years ago after my shop got burnt. My kids were suffering in the village and I had to pick them up five years ago.

He further stated: “My daughter woke up one morning and I observed Injuries all over her body while I was bathing her. I asked her and she said she woke up to see lines on her body. I took her to the hospital where she was treated.

“The Second Time, she said she fell on the tiles and sustained injuries on the head. Some things she does appear strange to me. Sometimes I wake up at midnight and won’t see her. I said this is not ordinary and took her to church for deliverance.

“The third time I came back to drop food for her, I was told she was rushed to the hospital. She was in a coma throughout yesterday.”

Reacting to the incident, the state commissioner for women and social welfare, Ify Obinabo said the report she got said the suspect beat the victim to a coma, describing his narration as folk tales.

She said, “The girl has been in the hospital since yesterday. The father beat her to a stupor, claiming she was beaten in the dream. He had thought she would die so as to cover his actions.

“You know when men are abandoned by their wives, they tend to transfer aggression on their innocent children and forget that their blood is running in them.

“We’re not saying that parents should not flog their kids as a way of correcting them. But you beat them according to their age. That’s why the adage says, “use one hand and beat a child and use the other to draw him back.”

While assuring adequate medical attention for the victim to ensure she survived, Obinabo said the suspect would be handed over to the police for further interrogation and prosecution.
