Woman strip naked, paraded over husband's death
.
A childless Widow has been reportedly stripped naked and paraded round town a day after husband's death.
It was gathered that the dastardly act which happened in Anambra State was video recorded and posted on social media which has since gone viral.
The incident has provoked outrage which has alsoled to petitions and open letters to the wife of the governor of the state to act swiftly to give justice to the woman and arrest those behind the shameful act.
One of the letters written by Anwulika Adonah sought the help from the first lady of Anambra ; reads
"Dear Chief Mrs Osodieme Obiano , the Executive First Lady Anambra state,
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?
Your excellency, it's been over 24hrs now and not a single one of the people who humiliated this widow has been arrested.
No one has seen the woman since the shameful parade ended so, we suspect that they may have killed her or she took her life where no one could find her body.
Your excellency, as a concerned daughter of Omambala, i write to demand justice for Ajuese, not only because you are from Aguleri but because, you are the mother of the state and this widow is your subject.
I know how much you have sponsored women empowerment and I am convinced that you won't let this go like the culprits expect.
What happened yesterday is an eyesore and an abomination. We are not as backward as these monsters portrayed us yesterday.
Whether the widow is alive or not, I plead that you use your office to perfect justice.
The attached picture was cropped out from the heartbreaking video these animals in our midst made of their crime and circulated on social media. I censored it.
The culprits numbering over 100, headed by her husband's relatives, could be seen in the trending video.
It is a pity that the Police could not save this woman yesterday as they paraded her past the Otuocha police station.
I am doing my best to get to the root of this as I am on ground in Otuocha but, my best will never be enough, since I am not from Aguleri.
This is why I need your help, Ma
Also condemning the act, are members of the Advocates for children and Vulnerable Persons Network ( ACVPN )
