Anambra State Women and Social Welfare Commissioner, Hon Ify Obinabo has said that investigation is currently on to ascertain the true cause of death of one late Ogochukwu Anene who was allegedly killed by her husband Mr Wilson Uwaechina over a loaf of bread in Enugu state.
This she made known when the mother of the deceased Mrs Cordelia Anene visited her in her office in Awka.
While alleging that her daughter was killed by the husband, Mrs Anene explained that late Ogochukwu was beaten by the husband because he ate the loaf of bread she bought for the kids and when the children wanted to eat, he became furious why they would ask him about the bread and pounced on her with mirror and other objects which left her in bad condition.
Mrs Anene noted that few days after the beating, her daughter was hospitalized at Niger Foundation Enugu where she was said to be bleeding internally as a result of injury sustained during the beating.
She confirmed that the doctors said this after series of scan had been carried on her and referred them to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku Ozalla.
She lamented that while all these were happening, the said husband was no where to be found.
Intimating the women and social welfare Commissioner further on the things done already, she stated that although they have gone for an autopsy but they have not been able to get feedback on the result rather, the officer handling the case in Enugu is begging that they drop the case.
She therefore called on the state government to come to their aid and give her daughter justice.
Speaking after listening to the mother of the deceased, the women and social welfare boss, Hon Obinabo stated that since the deceased is from Anambra state, the state government will not keep quiet over the unfortunate incident but will make sure that investigation leading to the cause of death of late Ogochukwu is thoroughly carried out and concluded in record time.
She also said that the state will synergy with Enugu State government in investigating the case in order to get justice for the deceased.
Hon Obinabo went further to urge women in abusive marriages to always speak out and seek help instead of staying because of what the society will say.
Recall that on Saturday, January 7, 2023 Ogochukwu Anene was allegedly beaten to death over loaf of bread by her husband, Ndubuisi Wilson Uwadiegwu. It is in the light of the above that the honorable commissioner for women and social welfare is throwing her weight in order to get justice for the deceased.
