The Anambra State government has vowed to ensure justice for a 16-year-old girl who was gang-raped by eight men, including her guardian, in the Nawfia community, Njikoka Local Government Area of the state.
The state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Esther Onyekesi, stated this when the survivor (name withheld) was brought to her office in Awka on Thursday.
Onyekesi, in a weeping mood, vowed to ensure that all perpetrators in the dastardly act were brought to justice to serve as a deterrent to others.
The commissioner, who was visibly emotional when the victim was brought to her office, expressed deep outrage over the level of trauma the teenager had endured at the hands of adults who were entrusted with her protection.
