A young girl who was recently rescued from a suspected ritualist in Enugu State has been granted a scholarship to support her education and recovery.
The victim, whose identity has been withheld for security reasons, was sent to a rehabilitation center following her traumatic ordeal.
According to reports, the girl was abducted and held captive before security operatives intervened and secured her release. The Enugu State Government, in collaboration with a non-governmental organization, stepped in to provide her with psychological support and educational assistance.
The scholarship, announced by the state’s Ministry of Women Affairs, covers her full tuition and welfare needs to ensure she reintegrates successfully into society. The Commissioner praised the efforts of security agencies and urged the public to remain vigilant against criminal activities.
This intervention highlights the government’s commitment to protecting vulnerable children and supporting survivors of violence. Authorities have also vowed to intensify efforts to arrest and prosecute perpetrators of such crimes.
