Alleged battery: Benue gov reconciles Channels TV reporter, wife
Benue State Channel’s reporter, Pius Angbo, and his wife, Dr Ifeyinwa, are back together after the state governor, Samuel Ortom, has reportedly intervened in the differences between the couple.
On Sunday, Ifeanyinwa had recorded a video of her battered face and said that her husband physically abused her because she advised him not to spend recklessly on other women.
She had said in between sobs, “Hello people, my name is Ifeyinwa. I am a doctor. I have been married to Pius Angbo of Channels TV for six years and for six years, I have not known peace in this marriage. It’s been from one woman to another. I just had a baby. It was a Caesarean section just about four weeks ago. Just because I told him to spend wisely and not on women so recklessly considering we have four children, that is why I got this beating.”
But Governor Ortom reportedly met with the couple on Monday and advised them on the need to settle their differences amicably and shun the temptation of engaging in violence.
He noted that as a young couple with great potential, the husband being a versatile journalist and the wife a medical doctor, there was the need for them to foster a strong union to serve as models to others.
Pius Angbo said he had apologised to his wife over the assault on her, stressing that he also sought the forgiveness of the entire women folk and would make amends going forward.
On her part, Dr Angbo said she had accepted her husband’s apology and forgiven him, adding their children are still young and they needed prayers to grow stronger in love and nurture their kids to maturity.
She thanked the governor for taking time out to make peace between them, saying his intervention was fatherly and a demonstration of love for them.

Abia: Parents who fail educate children risk govt arrest, prosecution
In Abia State, parents whose children and wards are not in school will now be prosecuted starting from January 1, 2025
This is even as the Abia State government says it is now an offence for parents to deny their children education.
The Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu made this known at the Government House, Umuahia, on Monday while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week’s State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Alex Otti.
Kanu disclosed that the move was part of the ongoing reforms and repositioning in the educational sector of the state.
He asserted that the issue of poverty is no longer a reason for non-acquisition of free and basic education in Abia State.
He implored the parents to leverage the tuition-free policy in the state to send their children and wards to school, warning that parents who don’t take advantage of the policy would be prosecuted in line with the Abia State Child’s Law 2006.

“So, as from the first of January, 2025 when this policy will fully come into effect, defaulting parents will be prosecuted under that law,” he disclosed.
The Commissioner reiterated that the relocation order of the Umuahia campus of the Abia State University to the mother campus at Uturu remained irreversible but assured all affected stakeholders that fears and anxieties generated by the relocation order would be addressed.
