Mrs Obinabo was speaking in an interview at her office in Awka.
While condemning the incident, Mrs Obinabo described the incident as ugly, unkind and wicked and noted that the alleged suspect will not go unpunished if found guilty after proper investigation.
Mrs Obinabo who was very emotional and vocal about the turn of events applauded NAPTIP and the Nigeria Police for taking actions where necessary even as she noted that investigation is still ongoing to ascertain the motive for committing such crime.
She warned parents and guardians to always know the type of punishment they give to their wards so as not to inflict injury on them thereby risking jail term.
The death of the young girl was discovered in Awka on 5th October, 2022 when the suspect Chinelo Udeogu was arrested by NAPTIP operatives in a Primary School in Awka, Anambra State where she had earlier enrolled the victim and had gone to take back the school fees she paid for the deceased.
While being questioned on the whereabouts of the deceased, she disclosed that the victim had died and she dumped her remains in the bush around Hezekiah Dike Crescent Awka.
The suspect also claimed that the victim was her granddaughter.
Meanwhile the victim was reported to have died on 29th September 2022.
Currently, both NAPTIP and Anambra State Police Command are investigating the death of the victim, who was a girl.
