Anambra woman who accused husband of defiling their 3-year-old daughter demands justice

A woman, Eucharia Okpalannadi, is seeking help from relevant authorites to get justice for her 3-year-old daughter who was s3xually violated by her husband.

The 58-year-old mother also alleged a threat to life by her husband, Magnus Okpalannadi, for exposing his suspected defilement of their daughter in Onitsha, Anambra State.

The mother, a native of Amesi in Aguata Local Government Area of the state said she got married to Magnus Okpalannadi who hails from Achina in the same LGA about 26 years ago.

She narrated her ordeal before the state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, in Awka, on Saturday.

She said, “We have five children, four girls and one boy who happens to be the twin to the defiled child. I had dismissed my daughter’s initial complaints of s3xual abuse by the father as a mere joke until the baby became persistent.

“The three-year-old daughter had complained that her daddy had been touching her private parts. Initially, I thought it was a joke and rebuked her to stop such an expensive joke until I noticed that the child’s private parts were not in good shape.

“After I concluded my observations, I confronted my husband who denied the accusation.”

Not satisfied with the response from the husband, she said she took the child to a hospital in Onitsha where the doctor confirmed that the three-year-old baby had been badly defiled already.

Angered by the development and concerns from close friends and relatives she shared the issues with, Mrs Okpalannadi said she decided to make the matter open so that government and private individuals could help her obtain justice for the child.

She decried that her life had been in danger since after the exposure describing her husband as a person who would go all out to do anything to her and the baby because of the exposure.

The embattled mother said she wanted her husband arrested and prosecuted before he killed her, the daughter and himself.

She also cautioned persons who were using the matter to score cheap financial gains to desist as she was being taken good care of alongside her twin by the Anambra State Government through the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare.Reacting to the development, the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Obinabo, noted that the incident was a serious and sensitive issue that had to do with security, saying, “It is not proper for some people who are just out to enrich their pockets without considering the effect of their unconfirmed publications to the victims and security investigation.”

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.

The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.

He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.

His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.

“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.

“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.

“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
