Anambra Governor’s Wife Strongly Condemns Attack on Female NYSC Member by Vigilante

Dr. Nonye Soludo, wife of the Anambra State Governor, has strongly criticized the assault on a female National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, allegedly perpetrated by a vigilante officer.

In a statement issued on Tuesday in Awka, Soludo described the incident as unacceptable, troubling, and degrading. 

The Anambra Police Command confirmed that the suspect, a vigilante member, was identified and apprehended following the attack in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area.

According to the Governor’s wife, there is no justification whatsoever for such an ugly and humiliating abuse.

“I have seen a viral video of the sad incident reported to have happened in Oba in Idemili South involving men of Agunechemba Security Network and a female corps member serving in Anambra.

“Such demeaning approach to law and order does not in any manner reflect our celebrated identity as a hospitable and peaceful people.

“It does not represent the humane philosophy of Gov. Chukwuma Soludo’s administration, either.

“There are always rules of engagement in such situations, and they must prioritise dignity, civility, and respect,” she said.

Soludo urged the authorities to investigate the matter and implement measures to ensure justice and prevent a recurrence of such an incident.

“Anambra’s image is priceless. We must guard it jealously,” she said.
