A mother of six has accused the leader of the Etche legislative assembly in the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, Blackson Nwanyawu, of inflicting injuries on her.
Speaking to journalists in Port Harcourt, the woman, who gave her name as Love Nwanyawu, said the councillor, who is her husband’s younger brother, along with two others, beat her to stupor.
Love, who had a swollen face and bruises in other parts of her body, said trouble started when she travelled to her husband’s hometown in Omualu community, Etche.
She said she heard the councillor, his sister and a male relative, shouting on top of their voices.
The woman claimed that Blackson then accused her of witchcraft and vowed to deal with her.
“I was surprised. The next thing I saw was that the three of them came at me, saying I was disturbing them and that I was a witch. They said anytime I come back, the house would not rest. I said how?
“They beat me up. After beating me and locking me up, one went outside, brought a chair and hit it on my head twice. When he (councillor) saw blood gushing out, he drove off. Others also left. With the blood, I shouted for help. They all said their brother is a councillor and nothing will happen.
“I am calling for people to help me to seek justice. My husband trained him from secondary school to university. He lived with me for years when my children were small. I paid his last school fees and he promised that when he graduated, he would ensure my children did not suffer.
“I was asking him, is this the promise you gave me? Look at how he made me. He wanted to send me to an early grave,” Love said.
The victim claimed that her husband had been ill and was devastated by the incident.
