The story
Blessing Effiong, an Akwa Ibom orphan was carried by my fellow blogger, Linda
Ikeji some time ago after it was first published by Punch. Below is how Linda
narrates it !
Blessing is
a 19 year old girl (she will turn 20 in August) who has been incarcerated at
the female ward of the Kirikiri Prisons since November 2008. She has been
locked up since she was 16.
I've been
to Kirikiri prisons. I've seen Blessing. I've hugged her. I've cried with
her...and I promised her I will do everything in my power to get her out. I
hope to keep that promise..I already have a team I'm working with to make this
happen...but we need more people to get involved in her case. (There are some
things I can't put out here but we need all the help we can get).
