The 27-year-old Anambra woman who was rescued after she was badly beaten by her husband and was sleeping in the bush with their two children has said that she is not leaving her marriage.
It was reported that the man had been in the habit of beating up his wife as this was not the first time.
In a chat with Human Right activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, the mother of two said she still loves her husband and will stay with him. The husband on his part, promised not to beat his wife anymore, adding that he loves her as well.
Gwamnishu said that when he and his team members visited Anambra state after getting wind of her case, he noticed that the woman had refused for them to meet with her husband and that she insisted that she doesn't want her husband to be punished for his actions.
Gwamnishu said the Anambra state government has now taken over the case and will handle it according to the laws of the state.
‘’WIFE BADLY BE@TEN BY HUSBAND IN AMAOKPARA, ANAMBRA STATE.
Regarding the criticism leveled against us for not arresting the husband, it is essential to examine the circumstances surrounding our visit to their home.
Upon arrival, the wife took measures to protect the husband, refusing to allow us to see him until we pressed the issue, at which point she presented him to us.
Throughout our interaction, she maintained that she wished to remain with her husband and asked that we not apprehend him.
Our primary focus was ensuring the woman received proper medical care, and we appreciate the Wife of the Anambra Governor’s intervention to provide further support to her and children.'' Gwamnishu wrote.
