Last month, a video tape of a young girl while naked went viral,
the report was that the school girl was caught with her lover in her father's
house and thereafter stripped naked and beaten by her father
, who authorized
the records of the scene and thereafter posting the recordings online. A
Honorable from her constituency has taken up the case and is demanding for
justice saying that the school girl was a victim of brutality and trauma.

UZOAMAKA CHUKWU: VICTIM OF BRUTALITY AND TRAUMA. #justice4uzoamaka
Earlier today, I met one on one with Uzoamaka Chukwu, the
unfortunate 15 year old JSS 2 student from Uburu in Ohaozara LGA of my
constituency who was recently made "popular" by unknown persons who
brutalized and dehumanized her through torture and defilement of her humanity.
I met her on the invitation of her family who seek inquest into her sickening
ordeal and also justice for her. I also insisted on hearing directly from her
on the circumstances of her torture and public defilement. For if I must speak
about it, I should do so on the strength of first hand information and a
conviction that she is truly a victim.
Her story is heartrending and painful. And truly she is a
victim of inhumanity and highhandedness of misplaced power/authority.
First, she is a 15 year old minor and wait for it...an
ORPHAN! Her father died while she was only 4 in 2004 and her mother painfully
followed suit two years later in 2006 when she was barely 6 years old. So she
had no father to catch her in the immoral circumstance that was earlier
reported. That story is on all scores a fabrication to deceive the public into
antagonizing her to cover the tracks of her aggressors.
Two, her family is too poor to own that 'rich' apartment
where she was tortured, molested and traumatized or the cars in the foreground
of the premises. Indeed, she claims to know the owner of the house who she reports
is the leader and master minder of her unfortunate ordeal. She remembers and
positively identified more than four persons who participated in that show of
inhumanity on her.
More disturbing of her revelations is the fact that TWO
SERVING POLICEMEN were actively involved in this inhuman and illegal act of
primitivity, along with a key political leader of her immediate environment.
These two categories of public officers are those to whom one would have
expected her to run if confronted with the circumstance as she suffered in
their hands.
While condemning the grievous and indecent
dehumanizationvthat was the torture and public unclading of Uzoamaka, one is
more particularly alarmed by the mindless act of video recording the entire
nauseating scene and posting online of such vile and murderous product by the
same perpetrators.
Finally, I refuse to pronounce anyone guilty in this most
inhuman criminality pending thorough investigation by security agencies, I
however condemn it in the most strongest of terms.
I wish to assure the family who has approached me as their
representative, and all well meaning persons, to assist them in ensuring that
proper investigation is conducted into this matter to unravel the truth and to
pursue justice for little Uzoamaka that I shall commit every energy available
to me to ensure that this matter is not swept under any carpet and that no
other child is made to suffer such indignity and inhumanity on any account. I
invite all men and women of good will to support this cause. I am convinced
that this is well within the mandate I bear and that I enjoy your support in
this regard.
Finally, I appeal to the Inspector-General of Police as well
as the Commissioner of Police Ebonyi State, Compol Peace Ibekwe Abdalla, to
ensure that proper investigation is urgently conducted into this matter in
order to bring all culprits to swift justice. I am going to remain vigilant on
this matter and appeal to everyone else to do the same. This is about the
humanity in us. It's not about Uzoamaka or whoever is involved in this debacle.
