Visiting the survivor Chinaza Anienene at the hospital, Anambra state women and social welfare boss assured her of justice and thanked everyone who in one way or another came to the aid of Chinaza and for giving her the necessary treatment and support needed. 


Hon Obinabo is currently working with the Ministry of Women Affairs, Lagos state, Anambra state police command and Lagos state police command in processing the paper work needed in facilitating the release and transfer of the case to Anambra while the offender would be arraigned in court tomorrow in Lagos State for prosecution.
