The Anambra State First Lady, Dr Nonye Soludo, has expressed immense joy and excitement over the full recovery and discharge from the hospital of the 10-year-old boy allegedly brutalised by his guardians in Awada, Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.
Recall that the boy, identified as Chiziterem, has been receiving treatment under state protection after a viral video showed severe injuries and burns allegedly inflicted on him by his guardians, a woman and her husband, in June.
The victim, whose video showed extensive injuries across his body, went viral on social media and sparked widespread outrage, thereby attracting the attention of Soludo, who intervened in the situation.
The governor’s wife, who later took custody of the boy and pledged to take full responsibility for his rehabilitation and recovery, had been visiting the boy at the hospital, ensuring he receives specialised medical, psychological and emotional support to aid his recovery and reintegration.
