THE Civil Liberties Organization has appealed to Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Gov.Charles Soludo and Commissioner for Women and Children Welfare to put machinery in motion for the prosecution of Sunday Obiozor Nwaka, who set the wife, Blessing Chioma Nwaka ablaze in Abagana in Njikoka LG over unsubstantiated allegations of infidelity.
In a statement, the CLO said that it was saddening, barbaric, despicable and callous for one to pour petrol on the wife and set her ablaze, describing it as abnormal, unbelievable and the hallmark of man’s in inhumanity against man.
The CLO also calls for the detention and persecution of Chukwudi Njoku and the wife both from Izza Onueke in Ebonyi State over the killing of a Mother and daughter at Trans Nkisi Federal Housing Estate near NTA.
According to her senior sister, Monica Nworie, sister of the victim who accompanied her late sister to the house of the culprit to take back her daughter, who is tired of living with them over brutality, assault, maltreatment and starvation. When they were going back home she left the compound first, her sister and daughter were coming behind.
Suddenly she heard screaming and crying of her sister and went back to the house, the door was locked. After much struggles she called security men who opened the gate and saw lifeless bodies of her sister and daughter and discovered that the man had absconded alongside the wife and four children.
She reported the matter at 3-3 Police Division. We commend gallantry and assiduous DPO 3-3 Police Division CSP Emeka Obi, who swung into actions and mobilized his officers and men that led to the arrest of the fleeing suspects at Awada yesterday.
CLO equally calls on Nigerian women and mothers not to die in silence, one has to be alive to be married hence any brutality, assault, intimidation, human rights abuses and violations should be reported to the Police, National Human Rights Commission Office, Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Human Rights Organisations, the Nigeria Bar Association among others.
“When your husband starts to behave abnormal, kindly separate from him for a while, call relatives to take him to psychiatric hospital for proper examination and treatment if need be.
“We equally commend Commissioner for Women and Children Welfare, Ify Obinabo, for urgent and immediate actions towards Women and Children abuses,” the statement said.
It reiterated its call on Obinabo to intervene in the pathetic and pitiable condition of Nkemakolam Nnamani of 87 Oraifite Street Awada, who is now incapacitated as a result of brutality and assault meted to her by the State Anti-Touting Squad at Upper Iweka.
