The Commissioner said, "the State Government and the wife of the Governor, Dr. Mrs. Nonye Soludo through her Non-Governmental Organization, Healthy Living are collaborating with his ministry to ensure her treatment.


``The first day I saw this poor child, I felt so bad that a human being can actually inflict such injuries to her fellow beings and it is really disheartening to be honest with you.


``So, the orthopedic surgeon, trauma surgeon with other physicians are doing their best so as to ensure her quick recovery and for us, we will make sure that the child continues to receive the best possible care and I will continue to monitor her.


``Please, this should not even be done to an animal talk more of a human; the governor is making a sincere effort to build a society of law and order.


``Because you have a child doesn’t give you the right to treat the child the way you want and I strongly believe the law will take its course on this ugly issue".
