The Enugu State Government has confirmed the arrest of Mr. Ozioma Okonkwo, a native of Imo State, for allegedly d+filing his two biological daughters, aged two and five.
Okonkwo was apprehended on Saturday night, October 25, 2025, following a distress report from a concerned citizen who alerted security authorities. He is currently in police custody and will be charged to court after investigations.
The two children have been placed in a government-approved shelter under the Ministry of Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development, where they are receiving medical and psychological care. Their mother, said to be deeply tr@umatized, will also undergo therapy supervised by the ministry’s counseling team.
The government commended the Nigeria Police Force for its swift response and reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy on sexual and gender-based vi%lence, assuring that all offenders will face the full weight of the law.
The Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development condemned the act, describing it as “a heart-wrenching and unacceptable crime against innocence,” and reaffirmed Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s commitment to protecting children and bringing perpetrators to justice.
