It was during her stay that the septuagenarian, who is now in police net, began to sexually abuse her, which resulted to pregnancy.
Her story popped up on social media, attracting the attention of the governor’s wife and the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare, both of whom collaborated for immediate action.

Mrs Soludo who appreciated the Ministry of Women and Social Welfare, for being proactive on the case, re-emphasized that Anambra State is a red zone for abusers, as her husband’s administration will not blink an eye in punishing offenders.
She also urged those who are going through any form of abuse to speak out, as the government is always ready to respond.
Mrs Soludo also provided cash and nursing reliefs for the upkeep of the girl and her baby.
Esther is already booked for school when the next academic session begins in January.
