By Izunna Okafor, Awka: Security operatives in Anambra State have arrested a 32-year-old woman, Mrs. Ogechi Ofoma, over the alleged brutal abuse of her seven-year-old daughter, Oluebube Ofoma, in Obosi, Idemili North LGA of the state. The child was reportedly rescued on Sunday, September 13, 2026, following the intervention of security personnel from Ibollo Community, Awada-Obosi, and concerned residents.
PPRO SP Tochukwu Ikenga disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday: the Command received the report in the evening of September 13 concerning alleged child abuse and severe bodily injuries involving the seven-year-old girl. Preliminary information indicated that the child had allegedly been subjected to severe physical abuse, including injuries reportedly inflicted with a hot knife.
