Women from Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State have placed a N1 million bounty on an Anambra woman, Mrs Adachukwu Okafor, who reportedly brutalised her 11-year-old househelp.
Operating under the auspices of Umuada Awgu Global Association (UAGA), the group also issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Okafor to hand herself over to the police.
The Founder and President of UAGA, Chinemerem Anyi, announced the financial reward for any informant on the fleeing woman’s whereabouts at the group’s news briefing on the matter on Thursday in Enugu.
According to Anyi, anybody who avails the police, Anambra State Government or other relevant authorities with useful information that can lead to the woman’s arrest will smile home with N1 million from the group.
She said that Okafor, who hail from Anambra and lived in Onitsha, was accusing the victim of touching the private part of her eight-year-old daughter, while bathing her.
Anyi, who was flanked at the briefing by other members of the group, said “it beats our imagination that almost three weeks after the woman perpetrated the evil act, the police were still saying that she is still at large”.
She said that the organisation was beginning to smell a rat, “going by the manner the matter was being handled by the Anambra Police Command”.
She said that the group also issued the police 48-hour ultimatum to apprehend the perpetrator or incur its wrath.
She said: “The Awgu women have been resisting the temptation of taking the law into our hands over the matter as civilised people but we warn that such calm disposition should not be taken for granted or weakness.
“We are heartbroken over the barbaric act and today, we gathered for this important press briefing over the recent brutalisation of our daughter, Miss Happiness Nwafor, by her wicked madam.
“We are using this platform to call on the woman to better submit herself to the police or other relevant authorities, because no matter where she is, she will be fished out.
“Our searchlight is on you and we will not rest until justice is served on this matter,” Anyi said.
The group urged the police and Anambra Government to, as a matter of urgency, imploy every arsenal to apprehend the woman, saying that it was being pushed to the wall over the issue.
“Okafore has murdered sleep and cannot sleep, she has bitten more than she can chew,” it also said.
The group, therefore, called on mothers to bear the number of children they could carter for, so as to avoid giving out their underaged children as househelps.
The group had on February 7, staged a peaceful protest in Enugu, demanding justice for the victim.
In a related development, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development on Tuesday announced a N2 million reward for any person with useful information on the woman’s whereabouts.
Okafor allegedly brutalised her househelp, Happiness Nwafor, whom she brought in January to live with her.
She was reported to have inserted a hot knife into the minor’s private part and also burned her face and buttock with a hot electric iron.
Meanwhile, the Anambra Police Command has declared the woman, who is said to be at large, wanted. (NAN)

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
