Petition: Rights commission releases report on Chime’s wife


The National Human Rights Commission on Friday released a preliminary report on its investigations into complaints of rights abuse raised by Clara, the wife of Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime.

The commission reported that the bone of contention between Chime and his wife is a disagreement over the procedure for the treatment of her occasional hallucinations and depression.

In a petition written on her behalf by human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, Clara had accused the governor of illegal detention.

Following the petition, the NHRC had written Chime, demanding access to his wife.

The Executive Secretary of the NHRC, Prof. Bem Angwe, informed journalists on Friday that a five-man investigative panel from the commission met with the major characters in the unfolding drama at the Enugu State Government House on Thursday.

According to Angwe, the commission held private discussions with Chime, the complainant, Clara; the governor’s sibling, Dr. Jide Chime; the First Lady’s physician, Dr. Aham Agumoh, as well as her elder brother, Tony Igwe.

The NHRC team also spoke to one Dr. A. Uzegu, a London-based consultant psychiatrist and forensic examiner, who is the doctor preferred by Clara, through teleconference.

Disclosing details of the initial findings, Angwe confirmed that for the last two weeks, Clara had been confined to her apartment on medical advice for purposes of medical maintenance and security.

But he added that the governor’s wife admitted having possession and control of keys to her apartment.

Angwe said the apartment was inspected by his team.

He further disclosed that the NHRC learnt that the First Lady was allowed access to her son after his school and lesson hours.

He also noted that, despite her health condition, Clara was conscious of her environment and related well with those she encountered.

Angwe said, “Yesterday, I led a team of investigators to the Government House, Enugu, and we were granted unhindered access to both Mrs. Chime and her apartment in the Government House.

“The investigating team held a five-hour meeting with Governor Chime, Mrs. Chime, Dr. Jide Chime (the governor’s sibling), Dr. Aham Agumoh (who has been treating Mrs. Chime) and Tony Igwe (the complainant’s elder brother) during which the complainant had an opportunity to state her case and also respond to the issues raised by her husband.

“Dr. A. Uzegu, a London-based consultant psychiatrist and forensic examiner, who is the doctor the complainant prefers, also joined the meeting through teleconference.”

mods... Move it to fp...

Human rights commission indeed! you mean they can't advocate for an independent medical/scientific examination for the lady to determine her mental state? They had to resort to interviewing the politician governor? They also had to issue a statement without scientific backing?! Brown envelopes mun be @ work!
Even if she has an ailment, is the Enugu govt house a medical facility? Who gave him the authority to lock her up even if its for 5 seconds against her will, even with her consent it will still be illegal!

Did you miss the part about the doctor joining the meeting?

So, we have a sick husband and a sick wife occupying the Government House? Hmn. Hope the state purse is not sick too?

Oga independent doctor....outside the influence of the Governor!

'The Rich also cry' with all the stolen billions, a cancer riddened husband and a mentally deranged wife, this could make a good nollywood movie. am an atheist but sometimes i agree with the bible, "all is vanity"

Husband = Cancer = Hospital
Wife = Mental Disorder = Room Confinement
May God help ds woman

How are we sure that man doesn't have HIV/AIDS and has infected the poor woman hence the acute depression?

I don't understand the ranting. What does Chime's Wife wants? She wants to go out and visit friends or is she tired of the marriage? From the look of things, I just don't understand. Her behaviour does not sound rational. If she is tired of the marriage, she should scream and seek for divorce.

Ok, they are bringing in a panel of doctors to assess the situation.

Happy now?

I want to offer Thanks to Sahara Reporters for having the courage to break this Development. At least now with attention on the matter, Mrs Clara Chime can get some decent healthcare.

Thank You Sahara Reporters!

The woman is mentally unstable nah. Everyone in enugu knows this

O.T.I.S:

Just give your life to Christ!
You are not an Atheist!!!

I'm actually feeling for Governor Chime. The report that he lock up his wife is false and was executed according to plan.
Little wonder Falana have to petition Human Rights Commission few days the report was publish by Sahara Reporters. It was a deal well executed.

From all indication's, Clara Chime has some health challenges and no good husband will allow her wife with some Health challenges that could attract mockery to the family roam about and make known to the world her health status. Not to talk about the first lady of a state. I had information from Insiders that claim Clara mother actually contacted Falana.

In reality, Clara movement was restricted due to her health challenges and her family especially her mum did not like the idea. According to Chime, both Families will soon meet and discuss the way forward. This is a family issue and will only be settled as such. No intruder will be accepted.

She should be taken out of that house into a neutral environment...her stressor might be in that house.

Ok then, they should do that.

I just don't get dis gist. What was her mental state when Chime married her? Has she always been challenged or did her probs start in the Gov's Lodge? Something is obviously going on, and I have a strong conviction that that poor lady is the victim oof some diabolical game. God help her.

on point!
