Christian Mothers in Mgbishii, a rural
community in Ohaji/Egbema Local
Government Area in Imo state have cried
out to the government and the Catholic
Archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiatical Province,
Dr. Anthony Obinna, over alleged atrocities
being committed by their sons and
daughters in the area.
According to Vanguard, the women made
this appeal during a recent visit to the
Catholic Archbishop at the Maria Assumpta
Catholic Cathedral in Owerri.
“We are r***d and molested by our own
children. You cannot come to Mgbuishii
and return home safely because of the
crime rate” the women said. Continue…
According to the women, they have
complained to the state government and
other security agents over the high rate of
crime being committed by their children
but all their complaints have not been
answered.
“We are angry because government is not
looking at our direction at all. We have
been completely abandoned for years.
Now we have no good roads, no electricity,
no market, nothing is going on in our
place. To make things worse, we are now
suffering from insecurity” they said
The women decried the lack of police
presence within their community. They say
their sons have become so wayward that
they beat up any police man who tries to
intervene during any criminal activity
within the community.
“Each time we report cases to the police
and they manage to send their men at all,
the criminals beat them(policemen) up
because they (criminals) parade more
sophisticated weapons than what the
policemen have. We needed police escort
to get here (Maria Assumpta Cathedral)
and we will also need them to go back
home” they said
The women also said they are thinking of
relocating from their villages to safer
places in Rivers state. They say even the
catholic priest in their community is also
threatening to leave their community
“Even the Reverend Father in our place is
complaining and threatening to go away.
About two weeks ago, some reverend
sisters visited our place and were waylaid
on the road and robbed. We have a lot of
problems and that is why the women have
come to complain to the Archbishop, who
is our father in the lord” they said
The Archbishop after listening to all their
complains prayed for the women.
