Wife of the Enugu State
Governor, Sullivan Chime,
Clara, has cried out that
the report of the National
Human Rights
Commission on her
incarceration by her
husband, Governor
Sullivan Chime is not the
whole truth as it should be
told to the Nigerian public.
Clara said in fact the
report was set to damage
her reputation...
This was contained in a
letter of complaint she
wrote to her lawyer, Mr.
Femi Falana, SAN. The
NHRC had on Friday
released a preliminary
report on its investigations
into Clara’s complaints of
rights abuse.
Speaking on the report,
the Executive Secretary of
the NHRC, Prof. Bem
Angwe, said the bone of
contention between Chime
and his wife was a
disagreement over the
procedure for the
treatment of her
occasional hallucinations
and depression.
But Clara said she never
told them about any
"hallucinations". In her
letter, she said, “I am very
disappointed to read what
has been narrated by the
National Human Rights
Commission. Apart from
the fact that the
information was largely
false, it showed lack of
sensitivity in publishing
sensitive medical detail.
“This has the effect of
tarnishing and damaging
my reputation. It is as
though the commission
set out to ridicule me. I
made it clear to them that
I had a nervous
breakdown and found it
inexplicable as to how
hallucinations featured as
part of my symptoms.
“It is important to make
this clear, so that the
public should be made
aware of this and that the
Commission should
recognise part of her
ethos in protecting human
dignity. It has been
suggested by some
quarters that the
Commission appears
biased already because of
the profile of the person
whose reputation is at
stake.
“I want to believe that the
Commission would
approach my case with
open mind and in
particular recognise me as
a victim of crime . I hope
that common sense would
prevail and that the
Commission should now
retract the damaging
publication and stop
stigmatising me.”
I thought Governor Chime
had said a neuro-
psychiatric doctor, Dr
Aham Agumoh was
around to take care of his
wife? What is really
going? Is this be a case
of cover up and counter
cover up? Too many
questions.
