Woman Whose Teeth Were Knocked Off By Lawyer Husband, Begs Police, Human Rights Group To Release Hubby

Alice Effiong, who had her front teeth knocked off by her husband, a lawyer, Columbus Effiong, has started pleading with the police and a human rights group involved in the case to release her already detained husband.

Alice, who lost her front teeth to the beating, said that the doctor had informed her of the need to get artificial teeth installed.

She said her husband had been beating her for a long time but she described the latest assault as brutal.

Following the report, ACVPN Coordinator, Ebenezer Omejalile ensured the police arrested Columbus but sadly, instead of cooperating with the rights group and the police to ensure her husband is brought to justice, Alice had turned around to recant her statement adding that her husband was innocent and would want him released immediately.

Speaking on this, Omejalile expressed sadness over the development. He said “This woman, Alice, whose front teeth were punched off by her Iron Mike Tyson lawyer husband, is seriously begging for the man to be released. I can’t even imagine the stress we passed through before the man was eventually arrested. She called me yesterday from the state command that all the alarm she raised about her husband was false.

“The survivor called me and appealed that the perpetrators' family called them to come over to their hometown to settle the case.

“My response to her was why didn't the same family prevent the numerous violence she suffered in the past before this present one that got her front teeth removed?"

Speaking further, Omejalile said, “Several lawyers have been calling me, appealing to us to show mercy, I just don’t get it.”

Meanwhile, before his arrest, Columbus, in a conversation with their landlord, was heard complaining of the frustrations he had experienced at the hand of his wife.

He said his wife pushed him into it, citing several ways she had allegedly not lived up to her responsibilities.

He said: “If it is prison, I am ready, even if it is for 10 years, I'll be happy, so she will feel the brunt of what I am feeling, the school fees, the feeding, the nonsensical thing she is doing in my house. She has pushed me into this. Why will somebody with children be sleeping around 8:30 am?

“There is no love, it is the children that are making me condone her in this marriage.”

He was heard promising to further assault his wife for trying to take legal steps against him.

Alice had earlier confessed that she didn't want to separate from her husband but hoped he could be prevailed upon to stop assaulting her.

She said, “I don't want to separate from him but when the deliberations are concluded and he doesn't change, I might have to leave him. All I want is that they should ensure he doesn't beat me anymore. It's the beating I don't want.”

Looted COVID Palliatives Were Meant For Special Vulnerable Group – Kwara Govt

The state government in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Communications, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, on Friday, said the items were meant for the poor and a special group of vulnerable people. The Commissioner said further that CACOVID and the state government on September 23rd flagged off the distribution of the palliatives and had distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state. “The remaining palliatives in the terminal, which the hoodlums preyed on until chased away by security agencies, were meant for special vulnerable groups and just one local government where names of the beneficiaries have just been delivered and officials have started distributing when the street urchins breached the wall of the facility,” the statement added. Afolabi-Oshatimehin explained that the looted items were meant for specific households, as dictated by CACOVID, and so names had to be properly gene...
