The Ebonyi state governor, Mr David Umahi, has called for the return of the 15-year-old Ebonyi girl dehumanized and stripped naked in a video that went viral few weeks back.
Uzoamaka Chukwu was stripped and tortured on July 13 by some people in Uburu, Ohaozara Local government area of Ebonyi state.
Governor Umahi made the call for the return of Uzoamaka to the state while paying her family a visit at their Umunaga Uburu residence. He said her return would enable the state government to take full responsibility of her rehabilitation and training.
Umahi said she must return within seven days or be declared wanted because she remained a property of state.
Uzoamaka was recently reported to have been adopted by a businesswoman who felt moved by her plight. The governor has however said she must be returned to the state within 7 days, according to Vanguard.
Emma Anya, chief press secretary to the governor quotes Umahi as having said: “Government is asking that wherever she is, she should come back so that we can take over her training from secondary school to university level. We will also be able to rehabilitate her.”
Umahi also said what government was doing was in no way going to stop the case in court, stressing that the case in court will continue to run its course.
Responding, Elder Francis Odabe, who responded on behalf of the family expressed fear over the undisclosed whereabout of Uzoamaka.
“We thank you for the commitment of the government towards Uzoamaka’s well being. Nobody knows where she is but we promise to do all in our powers to bring her out”.
The call made by the governor may come as a surprise to many who may likely find it more shocking that Umahi referred to the victim of an abuse as a property of the state who could be declared wanted if she failed to return to the state within 7 days, as Vanguard reports.
Humm this people amuse me a lot. Where were they when she was tortured nad striped necked by those guys. Now that she has got a new n better life n u want her back abi. Story for the god.

These mugues that are here parading themselves as Governors should remember that they have just few more years to stay in that office. And as we all know, once you vacate office in Nigeria, sadly ,your Authority , scholarships , Amnesty , Sponsorships, Contracts etc. .leaves with you ..So I will ask that the girl should be left where she is as long as she and her parents are comfortable with the it.

Why was the same girl bitten and by who? Sorry to ask.
You want her to come back to the same place where they naked her Abi? Ur talking of rehabilitation have you think how she will feel seeing people that she knows that saw her naked? Do you know what she will pass through being in ur state? If you wanna do her good invite this good Samaritan who first offer her kindly help to her thank her and discuss things with her not just to show ur arrogance because ur a governor… The office u might that you will leave tomorrow, go to that woman and join hand together with her and give the innocent girl the best life that she never expect.
At least you were not beaten in vain, you should thank your God. Others were killed in vain in this country and nothing happened. So no matter what he called you, you are being vindicated that’s all that matters
“No wonder the country is working” when they engage in frivolities. So pathetic!
Mr governor am suspecting you now.
So WHERE was the friggin’ State when this poor child was being subjected to such abuse? Abeg! Is she a slave that she’s now “Property of the State” in this day and age?

You can’t call someone a property… Property is what you acquire not what you give birth to
imagine life, now uzoamaka is the person every body wants in that state , from the very moment they did that shame to her i sense it was the beginning of her stepping stone, from shame to being a celebrity, wow God u are too much
Enemy of progress
Primitive state with primitive indigene and archaic brain
Governor please investigate and arrest those who were involved in beating and parading her naked for taking the laws into their hands. You don’t need her. The video speaks for her. You should use your position of office to stop this from happening in future.
She is happy and safer with the woman she is currently living with,they should leave her alone.
Did he really say that. How can he refer to a fellow human as “property”
Pls leave the young girl wherever she is.
If that girl comes back to the state she will end up traumatized instead of being rehabilitated.
Can you imagine ,she is a property of the state and not the citizen of the state .what is wrong with people using wrong terms ,words to refer to humanbeing .hmm
Property? Our leaders need to go back to school. Most of them are just toddlers in grown ups body
