Investigation by Igbere TV has revealed that Mrs Chinyere Chukwu, wife of Lawmaker-elect, Hon Chijioke Chukwu, is in an abusive relationship with her husband.

Chinyere, mother of two, is the second wife of Hon Chukwu.

Chukwu is member-elect representing Bende North State Constituency in Abia State House of Assembly.

He was elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during the last House of Assembly election.

Sources told Igbere TV that Chinyere, who is an established businesswomen, has been enduring domestic violence for a long time in her marriage but matters have gotten worse lately, hence, the marriage is on the verge of breaking apart as the wife have decided to walk out of the marriage.

Prior to this moment, Chukwu has been described in the media as a calm and easy-going man.

Sources who are privy to the happenings within the Chukwus’ stormy marriage disclosed that, despite being a second wife, Chinyere is still submissive, respectful, homely, “which is very difficult to find among ladies these days.”

According to our source, Chinyere had continuously been battered by her ‘abusive husband.’

“Initially when she complained about the abusive nature of her husband, I was like ‘leave him alone now’, but we reasoned together and realised that the man wouldn't stop beating her.

“Sometime ago, her husband beat her up and dared her to report to any NGO or Government Agency, adding that nothing is going to come out of it.”

Igbere TV gathered that effort to salvage the relationship has been on blink as Chinyere had given up on Chukwu and a lot of people are advising her to leave the marriage.

Another source suggested that Chukwu, being a prominent politician, may have kept a promiscuous life which his wife probably opposed leading to the continuous battering, a claim Igbere TV could, however, not establish as at press time.

When contacted, Chukwu told Igbere TV that the allegations were not true, insisting that he has never had any fight with his wife. However, exclusive photos of Chinyere obtained by Igbere TV, showed her face including her eyes were puffy and full of tears, suggesting that she may have been truly battered by her husband who had earlier denied the report.

“Let the person who gave you my number give you my house address in Abuja, I have neighbours. Go and ask my neighbours, ‘what kind of person is this man?. Has he ever abused his wife, or has his wife been abusing him?’. When you are done with that, let that same person give you the name of the church I attend too in Abuja, and let my pastor speak with you.

“I believe once you are done with that, you will have no need to call me for a ‘balanced report’. My neighbours will give you a balanced report, and my pastor too.

“But when they finish speaking with you and you are not convinced, call me. I will give you names of two big personalities in the society for you to verify from. But I believe you will have no need to call me because all your questions must have been answered by my neighbours and my pastor.”

He, however, declared, “I have just managed a situation. If she can fight neighbours openly for no just cause, you can imagine what she can do at home.”

“I have never beaten her, I don't beat women, I have respect for them. But if I speak (with you), you will presume I am only trying to defend myself, so I shouldn't be the one talking, let my neighbours speak with you to find out the kind of person you are dealing with.”

But when our correspondent informed him that some of his neighbours have already been questioned, Chukwu interjected, saying, “then you would have known the truth by now.”

“I believe you went to the right address (house). I have lived there for five years, nobody even know that I stay there because I come in quietly and move out quietly...until she came.”

Reacting, Chinyere confirmed she was in an abusive relationship with her husband, but declined further comments on the issue.

“Did you speak with Hon. Chijioke himself?,” she queried. “Yes”, our correspondent responded.

“Well, I think he should be in a better position to answer your questions because ... (sic). Yes, I was in an abusive relationship with him. But that's all I can tell you now.”

However, when confronted with Chukwu’s claim that she fights her neighbours, Chinyere refuted the allegations insisting that she had never had any fight with her neighbours “till date.”

“I fight my neighbours?. Why will I fight my neighbours?. We stayed in a three bedroom apartment, so why will I go out and fight my neighbours for Christ sake? That's an accusation, I never fought my neighbours.”

Chinyere told Igbere TV that Chukwu ordered her to pack out of their home, following which she left the house, while declaring that she no longer speaks with her husband.

According to her, Chukwu gave instructions to his siblings to beat her up, and she was beaten.

She said: “He (Chukwu) drove me out of the house. Chijioke gave an order to his siblings to beat me up, and I was beaten. I know how many times Chijioke has beaten me. So I see no reason why he has to deny that.”

Asked about the genesis of the matter, Chinyere declared, “I wouldn't say more than that for the sake of my kids.”

Too long a post

He should have taken up panel beating instead of legislation as a profession.

Intimate partner violence is a criminal offense in Nigeria requiring adjudication via our legal system . Why seek arbitration in the court of public opinion?

I believe this woman wholeheartedly. I wish for her sake that she had more solid proof like videos, audio records etc rather than the witnesses who may deny her allegations but then again all that may not matter cos in our society, we condone physical abuse from spouses.
Many will call her to forgive and go back to her husband simply because he is well to do.
Many of her friends including the priests will go behind her back to slander her or keep mum simply because they want to be in her husband's good graces.
The best thing she can do since she is well to do is to take care her kids and herself and forge ahead.
Don't wonder if she will prosecute him because she wouldn't cos of her kids.
We have a long way to go but we will get there hopefully.

Abusive Men always leave a trait, no matter how caring and loving they project to be.
It could be raising his voice harshly, saying demeaning things, probably light struggle, but most times ladies act blind to these little but vital signs because they're always blinded with the showering of gifts and attention.

It is advised that when you notice signs of violence in a man you're involved with, you run dearly for life because whether you accept it or not, he'll turn you into his punching bag and the constant transfer of aggression would be upon you.

When the hitting began, she should have done something, either speak about it to the general public or left the marriage.
She condoned it and now she's at a point where she can't tolerate it anymore.

Madam leave with your kids and never return.

See him....

No1. He's an APC member, so its to be expected, if at all. Two, where is the first wife, why is he not beating the first wife? Something is not adding up. That second wife is troublesome. My bet

The ugly woman deserves regular beating.

I stopped pitying her when I read she is the second wife. I bet she was dating him while he was still Married to the first. the proverbial broom has reached her side let her make way for the third

Why is that anyone that joins APC becomes a terrorist?

It's either they terrorise us on Nairaland, in government, in banks, at school, in church or at home.

This calls for concern

Only in abia state.
Same behaviour as the. Face of the state.

This one no be beating na, see as her face fresh, women sha, with their razor sharp mouth, they will talk and talk like they can bring the sky down, see this one now, just one slap don humble am, am against violence in homes, but most of this bitches that call themselves wife's deserve this.

2nd wife, eh

Brings to mind one old proverb I heard....

The cane that was used to beat the first wife is waiting for the second wife....

was the woman forced to be a second wife? NO.. we all av our destiny and decisions to make, probably she was captivated by the availability of state funds,so all mallam to his kettle..
