The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has announced N1 million bounty on a 62-year-old man, Magnus Okpalannadi, for allegedly defiling his three-year-old daughter in Anambra State.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Head of Information and Public Relations of the ministry, Grace Njoku, on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.

Kennedy-Ohanenye stated that the ministry received a report that Okpalannadi, a resident of Onitsha, Anambra State, was alleged to have been sexually molesting his daughter.

The man was later said to have disappeared before he could be apprehended.

The minister noted: “President Bola Tinubu-led administration has zero tolerance for child abuse and molestation.

She further pledged the government’s resolve to protect the rights of every Nigerian child, woman and the vulnerable, and upholding their dignity.
