Women affairs minister Uju Ohanenye orders arrest of Uyo based lawyer Ebong for beating & battering his wife

The lawyer who is reportedly based in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital is seen in the video beating his wife whose mouth and nose have been bloodied.

The Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, has condemned a lawyer identified as Mr Ebong seen in a disturbing viral video physically assaulting his wife.

The lawyer who is reportedly based in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital is seen in the video beating his wife whose mouth and nose have been bloodied.

One of their neighbours said the Ebong had been brutalizing his wife every night for four years.

“No be today, I have lived in this compound for four years, every night he would be beating this woman,” the neighbour said.

Reacting to the disturbing video, Ohanenye condemned the action of the man on her official X (Twitter handle) handle, saying, “This remains one of the most insane and unbelievable scenes one has seen in the brutalization of women. As I have always emphasised, this is a ‘Renewed Hope’ government and such an act cannot be allowed in our country.

“On that note, the federal Ministry of Women Affairs @FMWA_ng has ordered the arrest of this demonized lawyer Mr Ebong, who must face the law squally and I promise this act can not be swept under the carpet. Even if the woman decides she doesn’t want her husband to be sued, due to family pressure. the man must face the law as justice will have its way.”
