Wife of the governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has said that the state will remain uninhabitable for abusers and perpetrators of any form of domestic violence.
Mrs. Soludo, who stated this in Awka while reacting to the death of Mrs. Anene, an indigene of Umuokpu Village, Awka, Awka South Local Government Area, who was allegedly killed by her husband, Mr. Wilson Uwaechina, who hails from Enugu State, over a loaf of bread.
According to the governor’s wife, who regretted the circumstances surrounding the sad news, while authorities are still looking into the case, even though the said incident happened in another state, Anambra State Government, through the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare, will keep close tab on the case to ensure that justice is served.
Mrs. Soludo while expressing her worries at such agonizing incident, particularly when a woman’s life is lost, noted that the late Mrs. Anene’s story represents so many similar incidents that have continued to exist unknown and unabated.
She also promised to keep an eye on the progress of the case, insisting that any woman’s life lost to abuse and gender-based violence, points directly to society’s failure to protect the vulnerable gender.
