The pictures of the abused child which went viral, have prompted many Nigerians to demand justice for the helpless minor.
Social media users have condemned the barbaric acts of the couple responsible for the abuse and called on the police to ensure that they face the full weight of the law.
Many Nigerians have also raised concerns that child abuse in Nigeria is becoming an increasingly common occurrence, with children often becoming the victims of unhinged and abusive adults.
The incidents of child abuse are often unreported, and many children in Nigeria continue to suffer in silence.
However, Gwamnishu’s latest campaign against child abuse is drawing attention to the issue and is expected to spark the necessary discussions, government intervention and community advocacy.
In his Instagram post, Gwamnishu also urged people who cannot take care of other people’s children to return them to their parents or a trusted orphanage.
He highlighted the importance of ensuring that children are given proper care and protection, especially when their parents or guardians cannot provide it.
Gwamnishu’s message is being taken seriously by Nigerians, given his track record of advocating for the rights of vulnerable people in society.
Many Nigerians have also called on the government to put preventative measures in place to protect children from abuse.
Some have suggested that child protection policies be introduced in all state-owned orphanages and childcare units to ensure that children are free from any form of abuse or maltreatment.
The picture of the child in Abia State has provoked an outpouring of concern and anger from Nigerians, especially those who care about the welfare of children.
However, as is often the case, this latest incident will most likely only be one of many that go unreported.
Nigerians must remain vigilant and ensure that children are protected and kept safe from abusive adults.
The abuse of children should not be tolerated in any form or guise.
Activists like Harrison Gwamnishu continue to raise awareness about the issue, but there is still a lot of work to be done to stop child abuse in Nigeria.
Nigerians must continue to speak out against acts of cruelty to minors and hold abusers accountable for their actions.
