Obiano’s wife condemns stripping, parading of woman for alleged adultery

The wife of the Governor of Anambra State and founder of the charity organization, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFE), Dr. Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano (Osodieme) has expressed outrage over stripping and parading of a woman alleged to have committed adultry by some persons in a video circulating on social media platforms.

Mrs. Obiano condemned the treatment meted out to the woman in a statement she made through the Deputy Chief Press Secretary to the Governor Mr. Emeka Ozumba.

She said: “My attention was drawn to a video clip containing graphic images of a woman subjected to inhuman treatment of the worst kind. She was not only publicly condemned over alleged adultery, but paraded naked on the streets.

“I must say that the conduct of the persons who took laws into their hands to debase the woman was barbaric and disgusting.

“How could anyone have contrived to subject a fellow human being to such debasing treatment in this 21st century? I am particularly unhappy because it is a clear betrayal and an affront on the values  of our society and counters the efforts we made in the last eight years to promote the dignity and respect for our women.”

Mrs Obiano said that she has already called the attention of the relevant authorities to weigh in and bring the perpetrators of the  dastardly act to book as it cannot be condoned in the society.

It would be recall that a social media influencer, Anwulika Udanoh, had called on the wife of the governor to act instead of keeping quiet over the plight of the woman.

“Madam, are you aware that a young childless widow from Igbo-ezunu Aguleri whose husband died yesterday, was stripped completely naked same yesterday and paraded around Otuocha, and Enuobodo Aguleri, for allegedly killing her husband through Adultery?
