A
married woman, Mrs. Ajuese Obiora, was reportedly humiliated, stripped
naked and paraded publicly over her husband’s death during sex romp with
her.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Aguleri community in Anambra State, where they reside.
According
to an eyewitness, the woman was said to have been engaged with the late
husband in a sex romp while he was not feeling fine and he died during
the act but she denied it.
However, the
community alleged the woman to have killed her husband knowing fully
that he was sick and went ahead to engage him in the romp. There was
also allegation of extramarital affairs, which could not be
substantiated by her accusers.
She was disgraced and stripped naked publicly, which has attracted condemnation on the social media by different groups.
One of such groups is the Women Arise For Change Initiative, which condemned stripping a widow naked in Aguleri.
The
group made the remarks in a press release issued in Awka, Anambra
State, endorsed by Comrade Evangelist Vincent Ezekwueme and Evangelist
Chinyere Uzoma, Chairman and Secretary respectively.The group decried
with great disdain the barbaric, insensitive, inhumane and despicable
act as the worst form of irresponsibility and lawlessness.
“It
is very unfortunate that in this 21st century dignity, honour and
respect for women were trampled upon, just few days after celebration of
International Women’s Day. We are not in a state of nature in which the
might is right.
It is pertinent to note that
there is constitutional means to seek redress and not for citizens to
take laws into their hands. Government should leave no stone unturned to
ensure that perpetrators of the evil and barbaric act are brought to
book to face the full wrath of the law in order to be a deterrent to
others.”
“We commend those who are agitating
for justice for the widow especially Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs.
Pauline Tallen, National President Women Arise For Change Initiative,
Dr. Joe Odumakin, Anambra First Lady and Commissioner for Women Affairs
and others.”
“According to Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr, Evil triumph not because of those who do it, but because good
people sit back and do nothing. In addition to the wise postulation of
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, ‘We are murderers the moment we see evil and
failed to speak against it.”
