FIDA (NIG.) WARRI BRANCH, DELTA STATE STRONGLY CONDEMN THE ASSAULT AND DEGRADING TREATMENT MELTED OUT ON A WIDOW, MADAM KATE OMEH.
We raise our voices against the assault meted out on Madam Kate Omeh, a widow who was beaten to pulp, with severe wounds and two of her teeth pulled off by her tenant and six relatives of the said tenant on the allegation of not refunding the caution fee paid by the tenant immediately he packed out of the apartment but rather, referred him to come back the next day to collect same.
The clear provisions of Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Amended on the Fundamental Human Rights of citizen as guaranteed provides for the right to Personal dignity and strongly frowns at the infringement of same in any form or kind.
Prior to making this release, we have been in touch with the said Madam Kate Omeh and can confirm that the matter is already before the Area Command, Warri, Delta State and action has commenced to ensure proper investigation and arrest of the perpetrators.
It is very sad that she was made to go through that inhuman and degrading treatment, particularly at this time of her mourning and less than 7 days to the burial of her departed husband.
As citizens, we must learn to respect others and offer them care, instead of pain.
Madam Kate Omeh and her family have been severely traumatised due to this physical, emotional and psychological abuse.
FIDA WARRI seeks justice and states that no one has the right to take laws into their own hands, instead the right channel should be utilized, if aggrieved.
