Ngozi's story

Ngozi was found by Amaudo in February 2016, along Uzuakoli Road in Umuahia where she was roaming the streets.

She was mentally ill and had a speech impairment, but was able to write her name and home town. As she became mentally stable Amaudo took her to Enugu for home tracing. She was first taken to her school where her classmates were surprised to see her again because they thought she was dead (based on false information from prayer houses).

The teachers revealed that she was 16 and in Senior Secondary School 3. She was about to take her final exam when she developed her mental health problem and wandered away from school.

The school helped Amaudo trace her family. On seeing their daughter the family members were bewildered. They could not believe she was alive.

Her mother had given up hope on her daughter coming home because of the prayer house revelations. The pastors indicated that it was of no value to look for her daughter. One of the pastors informed the girls’ mother that her daughter had died which was why there was no need to look for her. Another pastor informed her that her daughter had married an unknown man and that she was pregnant.

When Amaudo took the rehabilitated girl back home, her mother could not believe that her daughter was alive and well enough to return.
