Controversy surrounding the death of
a minor, identified as Anwulika Nathan (an 11 year old girl) from Owo-Ahia Afor
in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State in the house of her guardian has
been reportedly causing ripples in the community.
Anwulika, the last female child of Mr. Chinenye Nathan, a civil servant in the Abia State civil service was said to be living with one of the Commissioners in the Abia State Oil Producing Areas Development Commissions (ASOPADEC) family as their house help.
It was gathered that the commissioner after raping the girl to coma rushed her to New Era Hospital, along Niger road and some distance from Amuzukwu Primary and Secondary Schools where she later
died.
Sources who confirmed that the people of Owo-Ahia Afor were pained over the girl’s death told our resource person that they were going to stop at nothing in deploying every measure to see that they get to the root of the matter.
Another source from the community who pleaded anonymity alleged that their daughter was raped to death by the ASOPADEC commissioner.
The source who confirmed that the police were already investigating the matter also accused the police of trying to sweep the matter under the carpet owing to the “powerful” nature of the commissioner in the state. According to the source:

The source who confirmed that the police were already investigating the matter also accused the police of trying to sweep the matter under the carpet owing to the “powerful” nature of the commissioner in the state. According to the source:
“Sometime last week, we got a
phone that Anurika Nathan, an 11year old from Owu Ahia Afor, who is living with
one of the ASOPADEC Commissioners was raped to death. When we got to
Umuahia, they were at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia. On reaching
there, we saw her corpse in an ambulance covered with a T-Shirt with the
inscription. One side of her body was open and we saw a lot of bruises on her
knees, blood was coming out from her mouth and even from her private
part.
After we waited for about an hour at the hospital, the young
man (Commissioner) arrived with his official car and with the father of the
deceased. They came in with a letter from New Era hospital, Umuahia stating the
doctor’s report.
After a while, the Commissioner attempted to leave, but the
woman IPO refused him going, insisting he must follow her to the police station
(CPS, Umuahia). The man insisted he was going nowhere as he brandished an
identity card showing the police woman that he is a Hon. Commissioner but the
police woman stood her ground that he must go to the police station with
her.
It was at that point that so many people gathered and with
the assistance of the crowd, he was taken to the police station by keke after
his driver refused to drive the car further. Before they left for the
police station, there was a melo-drama at the hospital premises when the said
Commissioner could not pay the ambulance driver for the services he rendered,
but for the driver’s threat to dump the girl’s corpse into his own official car
he (commissioner) was forced to pay the ambulance man”.
Continuing, the source added:
“Before this time, the wife of
the commissioner who we understand works in the same office with the father of
the Anwulika was crying and when asked why she was crying, she said that prior
to that incident, the girl went to school and came back from school with
bruises and before they could take her to the hospital, she died in the
process, adding that “from the hospital, we went to the police station and they
tried to bail him (commissioner) out that day, but it was not possible.
Unfortunately, the girl was somehow related to a prominent
man in Abia government and I believe if not for this, from the way things had
been going, the man could have been off the hook.
But because of the man’s (commissioner) position in
government, we (relations and families of the victim) are afraid that even the
police would compromise dropping the matter.
We were able to come to the conclusion that the commissioner
raped our sister to death because from the autopsy conducted, the cause of
death was established to be rape.
Anwulika was living with the commissioner, she was his
housemaid and he took her in January this year. It is not clear whether the
girl died in the man’s house or at the hospital, but all we know is that the
man took her to New Era hospital in his car but later brought her down to FMC
in an ambulance and at FMC, medics there tried to ascertain the cause of the
death of the girl, considering the bruises she had on her knees and blood that
was gushing from her mouth and private part.
What we are calling for is for justice to prevail. The
autopsy had been done at FMC which was confirmed at the CPS that the girl died
as a result of rape.”
