Woman gets justice after being brutally beaten up by her abusive husband.
According
to a post shared on Facebook by Emeka Ugwuonye, who is the founder and
coordinator of the Due Process Advocates (DPA), he managed to get
justice served to a wife beater who brutalised his wife.
Sharing the picture of the lady, he wrote:
"WHAT IF IT IS YOUR SISTER OR DAUGHTER?
What
if your daughter or sister comes home with a face like the lady in this
picture, and tells you that her husband beat her, what will you do?
Will you continue to fault me for trying to out the man in prison?
Please be honest with your answer. The
you that I know will like to kill the man even before the police will
arrive. Yet, you are shamelessly blaming me for trying to put the
monster in jail for doing this to somebody's sister."
Sharing how he gets involved in such cases and how he ensures the abusive husbands get their due justice, Emeka wrote:
HOW I MANAGE TO GET THEM ARRESTED
You
need to know how I do it. When a woman calls me and shows me pictures
of her injuries after being beaten by her husband, I tell her to go to
the nearest police station and to use her phone to call me when she gets
there.
Yesterday,
this lady in PH sent me pictures of her injuries from her husband
beating her. It was so bad. I told her to go to the nearest police
station. She told me she already went there, but they did not do
anything. I told her to go back there and call me with her phone. She
got there and called me, I demanded that she gave the phone to any
officer there. The officer heard my voice and he realized this was
serious. I said I am the Founder of DPA and I wanted a wife beater
arrested. I demanded to be given to a senior female police officer. That
was how the the ghen-ghen started.
The best way to deal with a wife beater
is to have a female police officer handle the case. It was so sweet
today when the same police that did not do anything yesterday moved in
today to arrest the man. They took him straight to the cell after making
his statement. The lady officer was brilliant. I said to her: "Madam,
we have to stop men who beat their wives", and she said: "All correct,
Sir". She asked me what I wanted - whether to charge him or not to
charge him. I told her to give me time to find out from the woman. I
explained to the woman that the man should be allowed to enter prison
where the inmates will baptize him with some holy ghost fire. She
agreed. So, the man is going, going, gone.
I
think we should identify some female police officers in each police
station. We should introduce DPA to them. Their work is to handle men
who beat their wives. I want to see these men who beat their wives,
answer "Yes, Sir" to a female officer.
I
am sorry, but we really have to do something serious about domestic
violence. We just can't keep quiet and allow these men to beat their
wives to death."
