Former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, has taken to social media to announce her appearance in court to represent a five-year-old girl who was allegedly sexually abused by her class teacher.

In a post on X on Monday, Kennedy-Ohaneye, a lawyer and advocate for women’s rights, reiterated her commitment to fighting for a better society and eradicating all forms of abuse against vulnerable Nigerians, including children.

She expressed her passion for justice and her determination to combat heinous crimes like the one she represented in court.

She wrote, “I remain committed to fighting for a better society. My passion for justice remains unwavering, and I will not tolerate any form of abuse, especially against vulnerable Nigerians, including children.

“Today, I represented a heart-wrenching case involving a five-year-old girl who was sexually abused by her class teacher. This incident strengthens my resolve to combat such heinous crimes.

“To those who would dare perpetrate such atrocities, let this serve as a warning. I will pursue justice relentlessly in my capacity.”

With her post, Kennedy-Ohaneye sent a strong warning to those who would dare perpetrate such atrocities, stating that she would pursue justice relentlessly in her capacity.
