Mother of 3 kids toured by Anambra Anti Touting Squad seeks Gov. soludo’s intervention

By Cyprian Ebele Onitsha 

A poor mother of three children in Onitsha, Anambra state Mrs. Nkemakolam Nnamani, who was allegedly tortured and disfigured by Special Anti Touting Squad at the weekend ,called for the immediate intervention of the state governor. Charles Chukwuma Soludo as her health condition worsening on daily basis..

Recall that Nnamani was recently brutalized, maltreated, assaulted and humiliated for allegedly  pleading to the  killer squad to have mercy on an elderly woman they subjected to all manners of assault  on the fateful day.

Consequently, one of the squad members, rushed to Nnamani who was inside an Asaba bound  commercial bus, at Upper Iweka, dragged her out of the bus and in company of other members, used pestles, clubs and machete on her and bundled her to their torture camp where she coughed out huge sum of money to regain her freedom but not with out more assaults.

The Nations News Nigeria reports that the victim was taken to several orthopedic hospitals and the squad visited her once and gave her #50,000 and had not visited again, even as her condition worsening due to lack of funds to continue her medical treatment.

In a swift reaction, the state chairman of Civil Liberty Organization, CLO,,Vincent Ezekwueme, said that the pathetic health condition of the woman was deteriorating and that if an urgent and immediate step is not taken her leg may be amputated .

Flanked by his secretary, Chidi Mbah, he issued a press statement tagged, “Matter of urgent and immediate public interest and importance,’  decried the attitude of the government towards the plight and sufferings of the woman and her family because of her patriotism to call the agent of government to be civil, decorum and law abiding in discharge of their duties.

“The Government and public spirited individuals should come to her aid in order to save her life and family. The hapless woman has been crying and lamenting that they did that to her because nobody speaks on her behalf as a poor mother of three.

‘There is no one to intervene on my behalf, I appeal to Gov. Charles Soludo, Civil Society Organizations and public spirited individuals to assist me in this trying and pathetic period as my children are out of school and I am yet to pay for my house rent and feeding is very difficult for us because am crippled as a result of the torture,” she cried to high heaven.’” she pleaded
