According to reports, the incident involved Aniagu Precious, an indigene of Enugu State residing in Onitsha, who allegedly subjected a young girl under her care to severe physical abu$e, neglect, and st@rvation.

The victim reportedly lost a tooth as a result of the a$$ault and later collapsed at school due to injuries allegedly sustained from the abu$e, as well as prolonged deprivation of adequate food and care.

She reaffirmed the state’s commitment to protecting the rights and welfare of children and ensuring that those responsible for abu$e are held accountable.

Investigations into the matter are ongoing, while relevant authorities continue to take steps aimed at securing justice for the victim.
