The police have been accused of refusing action against a woman who allegedly assaulted a teenager.
A 12-year-old girl, Faith Nwanja, has seen her reproductive organ damaged following physical abuse from her childless guardian, Mrs. Nkechi Bartholomew.
The New Telegraph reported that the latter inserted sticks in the teenager's private part as a measure to correct her.
Bartholomew, who is a seamstress in Onitsha, Anambra State, reportedly adopted the little girl when she was 8 years old.
Her abusive nature has prompted an intervention from the Ebonyi State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development.
Godwin Igwe, the head of the Child Development department of the governmental organisation spoke to journalist on Wednesday, April 18, 2018, according to a New Telegraph report.
“The child has been undergoing medical examination by team of expert gynaecologists, a team of orthopaedic doctors, a team of expert opmologists because of serious harm inflicted on her reproductive system, her hand, her ear, her teeth all over.
Last week, her medical examination was concluded and the hospital management said the report will be released to the police as soon as it is demanded," Igwe mentioned while addressing newsmen.
He alleged in a New Telegraph, the police's refusal to arraign Mrs. Nkechi Bartholomew for her treatment of a young Faith Nwanja.
