Civil Liberties Organization, CLO, Anambra State Branch, has reiterated its earlier call on Gov Chukwuma Soludo to save the life of Mrs. Nkemakolam Nnamani, who was alleged to have been brutalized, maltreated and humiliated by the State’s Anti-Touting group.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the woman, Mrs. Nnamani, was said to have suffered her fate for advising them to take it easy on an aged woman at Upper Iweka Area near TRACAS in Onitsha.
The pathetic health condition of the woman needs urgent and immediate step so that her leg will not be amputated as disclosed in a press statement issued to newsmen by Comrade Vincent Ezekwueme and Chidi Mbah, tagged “This matter is of urgent and immediate public interest and importance”.
“We decry the great indifference attitude of the government towards the plight, predicament and the suffering of the woman and her family because of her patriotic call to the agents of government to be civil, operate with decorum and remain law abiding in the discharge of their duties. It will be recalled that CLO had earlier drawn attention to the pathetic and pitiable condition of the woman without response from the government or her officials.”
“The Government and public spirited individuals should come to her aid in other to save her life and family.”
Similarly,the State government and Anambra State House of Assembly should kindly clarify to citizens,residents and visitors if there is a legislation enacted by State House of Assembly that banned people from urinating inside the gutter with penalty ranging between N30,000 to N50,000 depending on financial capability of the defaulters, without provision of mobile toilets or public conveniences in some designated places.”
“It is also imperative to ask how much they have generated to the government coffers or do the money gets into private pockets since their assumption of duty?”
“The helpless woman has been crying and lamenting, “Don’t we have government or is it because I’m poor and no one to intervene on my behalf”. I therefore, appeal to Gov Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Gov.Peter Mbah of Enugu, Civil Society Organizations and public spirited individuals to assist me in this trying and pathetic period as my children are out of school and i’m yet to pay for my house rent and feeding is very difficult for us”.
The CLO believes that it is of significant importance for government to listen to the cries and predicaments of the brutalized and now handicapped woman.
The CLO posited, “According to Bill Clinton former USA President, Think about millions of people who die because democracy reacted too late to evil, oppression, injustices and man’s inhumanity against man”.
