From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
The First Lady of Anambra State, Dr. Mrs. Nonye Soludo, has expressed her joy and gratitude over the full recovery of 10-year-old Chiziterem Franklin Ozuligbo, who was abused and severely maltreated by his guardians.
The governor’s wife expressed her delight as the 10-year-old boy was discharged from a hospital in Awada, Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area, following his full recovery from the injuries he sustained as a result of the brutal abuse.
Chiziterem had been receiving medical care under the protection of the Anambra State Governor’s wife since June, after a viral video revealed the traumatic and horrific injuries and burns inflicted on him by his female guardian.
The disturbing video, which showed extensive injuries and burn marks all over the boy’s body, sparked widespread public outrage on social media and drew the attention of Dr. Mrs. Nonye Soludo, who immediately intervened and gave the child renewed hope.
The First Lady, who is also the founder of Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, subsequently took custody of the young boy and pledged to take full responsibility for his rehabilitation, treatment, and recovery.

Throughout his period of hospitalisation, the first Lady paid regular visits to ensure that he received the best medical care, as well as the psychological and emotional support needed for his complete recovery and successful reintegration into society.
Speaking during Chiziterem’s discharge from the hospital yesterday, Mrs. Soludo said: “My heart is filled with immense gratitude as Chiziterem leaves the hospital, today, fully healed. His journey reminds us that kindness, compassion, and collective love can restore hope even in the most difficult situations.”
The First Lady of Anambra State also expressed her sincere appreciation to everyone who was touched by the boy’s story and to all those who visited him during his stay in the hospital.
She thanked those who sent gifts, offered words of encouragement, made donations, and stood by the boy and his family throughout the difficult period.
“Your generosity and empathy truly made a real difference. As promised, I have taken care of all his medical bills, and we will also support his mother with the means to establish a sustainable livelihood, so she can provide a better future for her children. May Chiziterem’s recovery continue to remind us that every act of kindness has the power to change a life forever” she added.
