A woman got her husband and his new wife-to-be arrested two days to the couple’s traditional wedding in Abia State for allegedly abandoning her and their children.
An activist with Behind Bar Human Rights Foundation, Abia state chapter, Ochiegbu Marvelous, disclosed this in a Facebook post on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
He said the man and his bride-to-be were later released following the intervention of the state Commissioner of Police and the Complaint Response, Abia State Police Command.
According to him, the wedding was ongoing when the first wife attacked the second wife’s mother and disrupted the event.
On 3Rd day of January 2025, one of the elders in my village came to my house in the village crying profusely that his daughter whose traditional marriage is coming up on Sunday 5th January 2025 is in detention together with her husband at RRS as he speaks to me,” he narrated.
I asked the offence she committed, He said the first wife arrested the husband on the allegation that He abandoned them to marry another woman. That the marriage will not work hence they are detained.
I felt bad with the story. Some of my village youths pleaded with me to join them to station to hear from the horses mouth about what really transpired.
Getting to the station I saw the first wife who arrested the husband and new wife to be, boasting how she will jail my village sister for 7years for marrying her husband at the station.
That if the new wife to be brings out 500k she will bring 1m to make sure the marriage doesn’t work. Hmmmmm I was totally dumbfounded. I remained calm till I heard all she said before leaving the station.
Kai!! It pained me seeing where someone who doesn’t know what tomorrow is coming with is boasting .
To cut the long story short, they where released at no cost with the intervention of office of the Commissioner of Police Abia State Police Command
I want to appreciate the efforts of Complaint Response Abia Police Command . Am grateful may God bless Nigeria Police Force and protect our officers amen.
The insults, vulgar words, foul languages I received from the officer incharge of this case (IPO) was much but I count it all joy when the right thing is been done.
One thing with me is that I don’t reply when one is reigning insults on me during my line of duty.
