A six-year-old-girl, Hawaβu, whose genital was mutilated by two young men four months ago in Jamaβare Local Government Area of Bauchi State has recovered.
She was discharged from hospital and reunited with her family.
Daily Trust reports last December how the suspects, 20-year-old Adamu Abdul Raβuf and 19-year-old Abdukadir Wada Haladu of Gandu area in Jamaβare town, lured the little Hawaβu to an uncompleted building where they cut off her female genital for ritual purposes.
She was rushed to Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital in Kano for treatment at the instance of the State Governor, Bala Mohammed.
The little Hawaβu was handed over to the Bauchi State Governor Mohammed at the Government House by State Commissioner of Health, Dr Aliyu Mohammed Maigoro in company of her parents.
Mohammed, who stated that communities must stand up to stop this βdehumanising act of savageryβ, said the government cannot do it alone.
He advised the parents to make sure that they donβt allow little Hawaβu to be alone or to be sent on errands or to be out of schoolβ.
