The gesture by the Owerri zone Senatorial Candidate followed an appeal for financial assistance for the treatment of the child by groups and individuals.
Condemning the action of the so-called father Mr Confidence Amataobi, the APGA senatorial Candidate, wondered why a father could abuse in such a manner his own child whom he owes protection and care.
Barrister Anthony who suspected that the evil might have been perpetrated out of frustration or drugs influence, blamed government at all levels for such an ugly event which according to him was the failure of the authorities to address joblessness in the country.
He explained that it was the responsibility of government to take proper care of the citizens like it has been the situation in some other countries.


The Owerri zone APGA senatorial Candidate then asked the government to take it as a responsibility to cater for the welfare of the child since they could not address causative factors responsible for such abuse.
