Soludo’s wife seeks justice for four-year-old girl allegedly raped by Anambra pastor
Anambra’s first lady, Nonye Soludo, has vowed to ensure the prosecution of 56-year-old Pastor Emeka Mkama, who allegedly defiled a four-year-old girl in Obosi, Idemili North LGA.
Mr Mkama, a pastor at Jesus Build the Church Mission, Obosi, has been detained since January.
Ms Soludo, founder of the Healthy Living Initiative, received official reports from health commissioner Afam Obidike and the chairman of Idemili North LGA, Stanley Nwoka.
According to the reports, the incident occurred on December 24, 2024, but was only reported when the child’s health worsened after being treated with herbal medicine.
Ms Soludo directed the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, to take up the case and ensure that all legal mechanisms were explored to bring the alleged perpetrator to justice.
The first lady reiterated the need to break the culture of silence surrounding domestic and sexual violence, stressing that speaking up was crucial in the fight against these crimes.
