Prince Woke
The little girl, about 7 years old, with a disability (deaf and dumb), who was found at Azikiwe Street, Mile 2 Diobu, Port Harcourt, on Monday by Prince Wiro, a rights advocate and National Coordinator of Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability, has been reunited with her family by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Azikiwe Police Division, CSP Lawrence.
Confirming the development, Mr. Wiro commended the DPO and other officers for their tireless efforts in ensuring the girl’s reunion with her family. The rights advocate emphasised the importance of showing empathy and care to persons with disabilities, as they are no less human.
Mr. Wiro also commended rights groups, the leadership of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), and other members of the organisation for their concern and for condemning the stigmatisation of the little girl by some mothers who visited the station.
