Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu has appealed for urgent assistance for a 15-year-old orphan reportedly found sleeping in an uncompleted building in Rivers State after her guardian allegedly sent her away over a missing ₦1,000.

In an online update, the activist disclosed that the teenager was found seeking shelter in an unfinished structure along Amaechi School Road in Rumuosi, opposite Rumuagholu Junction.

The girl, who hails from Cross River State, reportedly told those who found her that she had been hawking drinks for the woman she was staying with before she was allegedly sent out over the misplaced money.

Expressing concern over her situation, Gwamnishu warned that the teenager was exposed to serious dangers while sleeping in the uncompleted building and called on women in Rivers State to intervene.

He wrote, “Females in Rivers State, please, this 15-year-old girl needs urgent intervention.

“She is currently sleeping in an uncompleted building along Amaechi School Road in Rumuosi, opposite Rumuagholu Junction, Rivers State.

“According to information gathered, she hawks drinks for a woman she was staying with, but was allegedly chased out over a misplaced ₦1,000, as narrated by the girl.

“She is an orphan from Cross River State and is now exposed to serious dangers on the streets.”

The activist appealed for immediate intervention to ensure the teenager receives the necessary care, protection and support.
