Passersby were shocked when a mentally retarded woman staying
under the flyover at Arroma Junction Awka was caught with tens of
thousands of naira by the officials of the Ministry of Children and Women Affairs led by the Commissioner, Lady Ndidi Mezue.
Speaking to the ABS after the discovery, the Commissioner, said that
Governor Willie Obiano mandated the Ministry to relocate and rehabilitate mentally challenged people from across the state by sending them to the Home for mentally challenged persons at Nteje, Oyi Local government Area for their rehabilitation.
The Commissioner further revealed that they picked the woman under the
Arroma flyover in their routine exercise and discovered the money with her and upon interview, the woman who can barely talk gave her name as
Abike, from Lagos State and revealed that her uncle dropped her under the flyover sometime ago with the huge amount of money and left.
Commissioner Mezue regretted that most of the mentally challenged
people roaming the state are not from Anambra State and assured that
they will reunite the woman with her family when certified mentally stable by the medical experts at the Nteje Home for mentally challenged persons.
