The wife of the Bauchi State governor and Chairperson of the Bauchi State Action Committee on Gender-Based Violence, Hajiya Aisha Bala Mohammed, has paid a visit to a 10-year-old girl whose private part was allegedly burnt by her brother’s wife in Magama Gumau, Toro Local Government Area, over accusations of witchcraft.

The committee, under the leadership of the First Lady, has settled the medical bills incurred during the girl’s treatment at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBU-TH).

Represented by the Deputy Chairperson of the Committee, Hajiya Aisha Baba Tela (Wife of the former Deputy Governor), the First Lady condemned the dastardly act of the perpetrator and commended the Nigerian Police and other law enforcement agencies for ensuring that all those involved are decisively dealt with to serve as a deterrent to others.

She expressed concern over the rising cases of gender-based violence in the state and appealed to the general public to support the activities of the committee.
