‘I still love him’ – Mother who was be@ten by her husband in Anambra shields him from arrest
The 27-year-old Anambra woman who was found sleeping in a bush after she had been beaten by her husband and kicked out of their home in Amaokpara, Anambra State, has rebuffed efforts to arrest the husband.
She said she still loved her husband and would not want him arrested.
The mother of two told the human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, who is helping her that she would still stay with him despite what he did to her
The husband on his part, promised not to b£at his wife anymore, adding that he loves her as well.
Gwamnishu said since he waded into the matter, the woman had made it clear she did not want her husband apprehended and punished.
Gwamnishu said the Anambra State government had now taken over the case and would handle it according to the law of the state.
Gwamnishu wrote:
“WIFE BADLY BE@TEN BY HUSBAND IN AMAOKPARA, ANAMBRA STATE.
Regarding the criticism levelled against us for not arresting the husband, it is essential to examine the circumstances surrounding our visit to their home.
Upon arrival, the wife took measures to protect the husband, refusing to allow us to see him until we pressed the issue, at which point she presented him to us.
Throughout our interaction, she maintained that she wished to remain with her husband and asked that we not apprehend him.
Our primary focus was ensuring the woman received proper medical care, and we appreciate the Wife of the Anambra Governor’s intervention to provide further support to her and children.”
