…Women Association Demands Justice
Seven persons have been charged to court over the inhuman treatment meted on a widow accused of killing her husband during marathon sex .
The accused were also remanded in prison custody as the Anambra police command continues manhunt for other suspects involved in the dastardly act.
The state police commissioner, Echeng Eworo Echeng disclosed this during a courtesy visit by the Ultimate Business Women and Farmers Association of Nigeria in Awka, Anambra state capital on Thursday .
According to him, those involved in the act must be made to face the full wrath of the law, stressing the need to protect the dignity of womanhood.
Earlier, the National President of the Association, Mrs Nkiru Nwagbo, urged the command to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book.
She commended the police for the way the sensitive matter had so far been handled so far.
“See also express our appreciation to your office in the manner you protected the dignity and respect for womanhood in the Aguleri episode against the widow that was maltreated by her in-laws
“We have implicit confidence in the command that those that masterminded the wicked act will be brought to book to serve as a deterrent to those whose stuck in trade is the brutality against women,” she said
Nwagbo also extended the association’s willingness to partner with the Police Officers Wives Association, noting that the partnership would go a long way in empowering the women in the area.
“As the year’s mother’s day is being celebrated we have plans to empower at least two women in each of the twenty one local government areas in the state and to work with the Police Officers Wives Association POWA in this regard.
“To achieve this we have been interfacing with faith based organisations, charitable associations who have indicated interest in working with us.”She added
