PDP Asks IGP To Probe Attacks On Imo Widows

The Peoples Democratic Party has called on the Inspector-General of
Police, Mr. Suleiman Abbah, to urgently investigate the alleged
attacks on some widows in Imo State.

Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign
Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, stated this at a press briefing
in Abuja on Sunday.

He said the widows, under the aegis of Imo Widows Association, Jesus
Triumphant Widows Association and Amuzi Widows Association, organised
a rally in support of one of their own and current Minister of State
for Education, Prof. Viola Onwuliri.

Fani-Kayode, who was flanked by the minister and two other widows at
the briefing, added that the women, in their thousands, all dressed in
black, had converged on the Roundabout, about three kilometers away
from Government House, Owerri, on February 10, singing solidarity
songs in support of President Goodluck Jonathan and Onwuliri before
they were attacked.
