The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has condemned a young woman for exploiting her mentally unstable mother for personal gain in a viral video
The video, which has sparked outrage online over the weekend, shows the young woman filming and engaging with her mother, who appears visibly unwell and unkempt.
Reacting to the development in a post via her X page on Monday, the minister described the video as disturbing, unacceptable and potentially harmful.
She wrote, “We condemn the disturbing video report of a woman’s mental illness being exploited by her daughter for personal gain and social media content. This is unacceptable, potentially harmful, and troubling.
“We strongly condemn exploiting vulnerable individuals, especially those struggling with mental health issues. Mental illness demands compassion, understanding, and support – not ridicule or exploitation.
“The Federal Ministry of Women Affairs urgently request information about the mother’s identity and condition to ensure proper care and protection. A reward is offered for prompt location assistance.
“Appropriate actions must be taken to address this situation. We call on everyone to respect the dignity and humanity of those facing mental health issues and report similar instances immediately.
“Let’s work together to prevent exploitation and support those who need it most.”
