Woman Kicked Out Of The House In Anambra, Soludo’s Wife Intervenes

This is coming just few days after another person, an apprentice, Chinecherem Ugwu, was mercilessly brutalized by his Enugu-born Master, Mr. Peter Ozioko, in Nnewi, Anambra State, over suspicion that he bought a phone while still under him as an apprentice.

The latest incident was said to have happened in Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area of the State, where the brutal husband also reportedly kicked the nursing mother out of the house, together with their children, including an 8-month-old baby, after battering her.

According to reports, the victim, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwafor, who hails from Amaokpala community, also in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, attracted the attention of good Samaritans after she was seen over the weekend, sleeping by a roadside bush at night, together with her little children.

Video and photo clips from the scene also suggested that she must have been severely manhandled by the suspect, as she sustained various degrees of injuries on different parts of her body, with some stains of fresh blood on her face, as at the time the clips were captured.

It was gathered that thereafter, Mrs. Nwafor and her children were rushed to a hospital, where the Governor’s wife also visited and encouraged them, represented by the State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Afam Obidike.

Reports have it that the Governor’s wife also cleared the medical bills of the victims after it was confirmed that she was now fit and in good health condition.

While efforts are still in progress to arrest the suspect, Mrs. Soludo also secured an automatic engagement for the victim at the Orumba North Local Government Headquarters to enable her make some token for her upkeep and that of her children.

The Anambra First Lady further made arrangements for the supply of food items to the family soonest, while also reassuring to get justice for the victim by ensuring that the suspect faces the full weight of the law to serve as deterrent to others; according to her, such inhuman acts and other such crimes have no place in Anambra State under the present administration of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.
