The Anambra State Government has released a statement on the alleged child marriage, between 15-year-old Chinwe, and a man from Ozubulu, Mr Izuchukwu Igwilo.

According to Lady Ndidi Mezue, the Commissioner, Anambra State Ministry of Women and Children Affairs, the Anambra State government is following up the alleged child marriage case and will be collaborating with security agencies to speed up and achieve a satisfactory and positive outcome.

The statement reads; 

"The ministry is in contact with the girl’s family, Anambra Police and other interested parties in the matter including human rights activists," the statement reads.

"The ministry’s utmost concern at this period is the safety and well-being of the young girl in question, as well as the well-being of her young child. As a result, the ministry has up till this time not made any press statement, granted any media interviews nor released any pictures concerning this matter, this is to protect the dignity and privacy of the innocent persons involved. We call on all those working on this case with us to toe the same line.

We can report at this time that considerable progress has been made on the matter and wish to state that the young girl in question is not yet in the custody of the ministry as reported on several social media platforms.
We wish to assure the public that in line with our mandate, and as can be seen in previous social welfare interventions undertaken by the Ministry, we will pursue this particular case towards achieving a satisfactory and positive outcome."

That's good.

Some positive sides of social media

Ok

Obiano is busy drinking. So how will he know?

We dont condone it in Igboland, Fulanis and their Yoruba Abubaku's should continue with their inbreeding and child marriage.

Oya...

She's already a mother. Let her and her family just be.

Ruth won't have been allowed to marry Boaz had it been in this era. And it would have been an error!

Na wa o

All those comparing this event with others in the North few days back should hide their heads in shame, things like this are not encouraged in the South unlike our Northern brethren who even get recommendations from their Emir and Sultan to marry under aged girls... Now asked yourself this "has the Kano, Sokoto or any Northern State govt condemned anything as such in their territory"??... That's because it is highly acceptable to marry under aged. Reminds me of that our MP that year that married one Egyptian pikin sef

Edumare punish poverty

In the meantime, their ogogoro drinking Governor is busy enjoying his drink with his agbero shirt tearing wife....

Underestimate the power of social media at your own peril.

What is the issue here?

That the girl was married off at a young age?

Or that she's married to a down syndrome man?

Or that she got pregnant at 15?

I hope northern states can copy this move from the SE.
Emirs are still keeping Christian girls hostage as wives and call them Muslim converts and no northern politician will speak against it or he will be labelled anti Islam

welcome development.....

They should leave the small girl alone... She is not damaged goods

God Don pick her call

God don pick her call

What about the man himself. Wont the ministry take care of him seeing that he is disadvantaged with down syndrome. I hope they get another wife for him after taking his wife away.
