The Enugu State Ministry of Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development has
rescued a 16-year-old girl following her public banishment from the Nenwe community
over allegations of abuse involving her father.

 

The intervention followed a viral [video showing the teenager and her father being forcefully marched out of the village](https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2026/10/father-banished-alongside-daughter-after-he-allegedly-had-relations-with-her-and-impregnated-her.html)
by local elders. In the footage, community members were seen raining curses on the
duo, who were draped in palm fronds—a traditional symbol of abomination in Igbo 
culture—with elders declaring their alleged actions a taboo in the land.

 

Reacting to the incident, the Enugu State Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs,
and Social Development, Ngozi Enih, confirmed that the ministry has placed the teenager
in a safe shelter. Meanwhile, a law enforcement manhunt has been launched to apprehend
the father.

 

Commissioner Enih assured the public that the survivor’s physical health, emotional
well-being, and overall welfare remain the state’s top priorities. She noted that
the girl will receive comprehensive psychosocial support to navigate her trauma 
and begin her recovery journey.

“No child should ever be blamed, rejected, or punished for being a victim of such
abuse,” Mrs. Enih emphasized.
