The Ebonyi state office in collaboration with other partners comprising MDAs, CSOs, NGOs etc visited the community to enforce the decision of the Executive Secretary led Special Investigation Panel on Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV).

The Panel had on the 16th and 17th February, 2021 held sittings.

Her house that was sealed was equally opened. She was supported to get Religious minister of her choice to bless the house so she can gain entrance again.

The properties of her father that’s the bone of contention will be shared between her and her half brother in our next visit.
