Although still admitted, the victims grandmother, Mrs Christiana Akpụ, appreciated the efforts of the state government through the women and social welfare Commissioner and prayed for speedy recovery of her grand child.

Recall that according the initial medical report, it was said that the victim is having complications with her kidney which may be as a result of infection from the rape and defilement incident.
