According to ICIRNigeria, Ananaba has been arrested and charged to court, for maltreating the child  and denying her education. Ananaba stopped her from attending school since September.

According to a source, despite having been stopped from attending school, the g continued taking Ananaba’s two kids to and from school every day. .

“She is up as early as 5am sweeping the house and even up till 11pm. You need to see all the marks on her body; horrible! She gets beaten up by Ananaba all the time; morning beatings are customary. .
.
This is a very serious case of human trafficking,” the source was quoted as saying. Ananaba allegedly brought the girl to Lagos from the eastern part of the country about three years ago. At the moment, OPD has taken custody of the victim.
