The vile act was further recorded, and the video was shared on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the trending video also shared in the South-East Human Rights Situation Room by a member of the forum, the woman was seen beaten to a stupor, stripped naked, and paraded in the community like a common thief. This barbaric act is dehumanizing, satanic, and a violation of the human rights of this poor widow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that a community in this 21st century can commit this heinous crime against their daughter, and wife all in the name of culture speaks volumes of their level of backwardness. Interestingly, this incident is not the first time that such flagrant desecration of women was perpetuated in this same community.<br \/>\nIn the time past, the WomenAid Collective (WACOL) a Gender justice Non-governmental Organization also received and handled the similar case from the same community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe SE Human Rights Situation Room reiterates that any cultural practice that is anti-human, is in conflict with the constitution of the Federation Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Law of Enugu State 2019, and the Widowhood Law of Enugu, and also repugnant to natural justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also noted, that in recent times, there has been a spike in such nauseating acts of man inhumanity to women as recorded in our communities, especially in Igbo land, hence the need for urgent action to be taken by the stakeholders toward stemming the tide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is disheartening and condemnable that despite high-level advocacy interventions carried out by CSOs in the county to create a gender-friendly environment where women and girls feel safe just like their male counterparts, women in Nigeria, especially in the South-East geopolitical zones have continued to suffer huge physical, emotional, and psychological abuses, due to harmful cultural practices. Enough is enough!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe traditional ruler and the cabinet members of the Agunese Afam-Mmaku Autonomous community should take urgent steps to check the excesses of their subjects, so as to prevent a repeat of such injustices against women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe, also appeal to the concerned authorities, especially the Awgu Local chairman, as well as the State government to do everything within the ambit of the law to ensure that the perpetrators of these monstrous act prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Igwe, who is of WACOL, added that \u201cNdigbo should as a matter of critical urgency speak out in unionism in condemnation of harmful cultural norms, that bring shame to the Igbo race, and perpetually project them in bad light before the comity of nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our earnest desire as a group that communities and law enforcement agencies continue to raise the accountability stakes, and take proactive actions to protect the poor, and the vulnerable members of our society such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/13\/seven-remanded-for-stripping-anambra-widow-naked-over-adultery-cp\/\">woman<\/a> in the viral video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to sincerely commend the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), other officers, and men of the Awgu Divisional Police for their swift action that led to the arrest of seven (7) perpetrators.<br \/>\nWe, therefore, request their prompt prosecution under the extant laws of the land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, we also extend our deepest appreciation to Mr. Vincent Okafor Esq, for his effort so far in ensuring that the victim has access to medical treatment and for also ensuring that the case was reported to the police.<br \/>\nAccordingly, we shall continue to work with all interested individuals, and agencies to ensure that justice is fully served in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/06\/ibadan-resident-narrates-how-robber-entered-her-house-and-took-her-away-naked\/\">the matter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe South East Human Rights Situation Room is a coalition of like-minded NGOs working in South East Nigeria.
