The alarm raised by Mr. Eziashi also attracted female layers in Nigeria, under the aegis of FIDA, and they called for thorough investigation to give justice to the teenager.

 The Public Relations Officer (PRO), FIDA, Delta State, Mrs. Stellamaris Mejulu, expressed delight with the arrest of the suspects and urged the police to prosecute all those linked to the case.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Anthony Aniemeka, when contacted said that police were still investigating the case.
