Mbah, Enugu State Governor<\/p>\n

By Publisher<\/p>\n

Kindly share:<\/p>\n

The police in Enugu State has arrested a man for allegedly chopping off his wife’s hand.<\/p>\n

This is in line with the state government’s zero tolerance for domestic and gender-based violence, promoting the arrest of the suspect, who was identified as Mr. Sunday Echegi, from Ibagwa Ani in Nsukka LGA of the state.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

The suspect allegedly chopped off the hand of his wife, Mrs. Chinonso Loveth Echegi, following a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Ngozi Enih, the Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs and Social Development, disclosed the development on Tuesday morning, adding that the government has also taken the victim to a hospital in the state capital where she is receiving medical attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is yet another sad development, which we are following up with to ensure that justice is done,” Enih said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe information we have that the man in question aimed for the wife\u2019s head during a disagreement, but ended up chopping off the left hand with which she tried to fend off the machete. She also sustained injury on the right hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we swung into action immediately we got the information and had him arrested immediately. So, he is now in police custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the most urgent matter now is to save the victim\u2019s life. So, we have moved her to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Parklane, Enugu, where she is currently receiving full medical attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, this is a case the government is taking very seriously. The wife of the governor, Her Excellency, Mrs. Nkechinyere Mbah, is personally on this gruesome matter and has vowed that justice must be served.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect will be moved to the Police Force CID, Enugu today for a thorough investigation. From there, the law will take its full course.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Enih warned Enugu residents to refrain from all manner of domestic and gender-based violence and child abuse because the Governor Peter Mbah-led administration would never tolerate such.<\/div>\n
