In October 2022, Confidence Amatobi, a father residing in Imo State, faced charges for fracturing the arm of his two- month-old child due to the infant disrupting his sleep. This distressing Incident, occurring in Imo State, incited widespread outrage and condemnation as the infant’s arm was so severely injured that it required amputation.
Following the gruesome attack, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Imo State Chapter of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) swiftly called upon the State Government and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to swiftly apprehend and punish the perpetrator. Together, NHRC, NAWOJ, and the distraught mother, Miracle, convened a joint news conference in Owerri, demanding justice for the innocent victim.

She disclosed that the child’s right hand was fractured after being repeatedly struck with a plastic object by his father, Confidence Amatobi.
Mrs. Nnaji labeled the assault a severe case of child abuse and implored the authorities to ensure that the voiceless. child receives the justice he deserves. Similarly, Mrs. Ukachi Ukah, the NHRC’ s Imo State Coordinator, denounced the violence and stressed the importance of justice being served.
