A little girl of 12 years old who was fleeing from the bashing
of her mum suddenly developed a smart idea as she hit the road that
aided her to successfully deceive everybody, including the police
in her efforts to perfect her new desire to flee the country. The
girl who claimed her name was Eva Sony reportedly left home with
some of her belongings after she was beaten by her mother, a widow.
She was found roaming the streets of Nsuakka and finally picked
up by a white missionary and his wife.
Eva Sony may have sensed she could obtain a direct ticket to overseas
if she handled her new thoughts well before the missionaries.
She, therefore, told her sympathizers that she had come from South
Africa; saying that one day a man approached and convinced her to
travel with him to Nigeria.
She told the missionaries that she was trafficked from South Africa
to Lagos, Abuja before she ended up at Nsukka where the man now
abandoned her.
Not only that, she also claimed she was living with her foster parents
in Johannesburg, and was a student of Nelson Mandela Academy; and
that her name was Eva Sony.
She pleaded with the missionaries to stay with them rather than
be taken to a police station or any other place.
However, the missionaries were at a point forced to withdraw her
from police custody to the zonal office of the National Agency for
Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and other related matters (NAPTIP)
in Enugu.
The Zonal Director of NAPTIP, Mrs Ijeoma Okoronkwo told Daily Sun
in Enugu that while in the office the girl pretended she didn’t
understand what was being discussed in the Igbo Language.
“She was agitated and refused to settle down, insisting that
she wanted to go with the white missionaries (names withheld). We
took her in as Eva Sony after calming her down; and had already
started making arrangements to contact the South African embassy
to see how we can send her back.
“She played all of us and we fell for it; all the time we
spoke Igbo she didn’t react; all she did was to cry.”
“Two days after she was brought to us we got a call from a
man who said he was looking for a young girl bearing an Igbo name
from Nsukka; we told him we didn’t have such a girl, that
the one we have here is from South Africa.”
According to her, the man later decided to come to the office to
check and was able to identify the girl.
Mrs Okoronkwo said the girl’s mother was later brought to
Enugu where they were counseled on the need to keep an eye on the
girl.
It was then discovered that she invented the name Eva Sony to match
her tricks; that she is a JSS 1 student of a secondary school in
Nsukka, and actually hails from Uzouwani area of Enugu State.
