Clara
Chime, the
First Lady
of Enugu
State,
says
Governor
Sullivan
Chime,
has placed her under house arrest, and has cried
out for assistance to reach human rights bodies to
rescue her.
In a letter dripping with pain and suffering, Mrs.
Chime disclosed that she married Mr. Chime in
October 2008 but that she has been unable to share
the matrimonial bed with him for over four years.
Describing her desperate situation, she said that
even President Goodluck Jonathan and First Lady
Patience Jonathan have intervened with her
husband without success.
“My father is late, my Mum and few of my siblings
are confused and have done all kinds of prayers
they know of, 3 of my siblings prefers me dead than
to see me leave the Government house. He treats
my Mum and my siblings bad,” she wrote.
The Enugu State First Lady said she has been
introduced to two psychiatrists whose names she
gave as Dr. Onwukwe and Dr. Agumo, who have
prescribed “all kinds of drugs that ends up keeping
me acute depressed and also drives me into
hallucinations.”
The doctors, she noted, are scared of her husband
the Governor, to whom nobody can tell the truth.
According to the letter, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu
state (Callistus Onaga), and top priests have come
to intervene, as have the President and the First
Lady of the nation, without success.
Mrs. Chime further complains that Governor Chime
has ordered her to leave with her four-year old son
whom she conceived before their wedding.
However, the governor, according to her, later
threatened to disown the boy should she leave with
him.
“He has told everyone he can reach that there is no
marriage between us that I can leave if I wish to but
whenever I plan to leave he instructs them to lock
me in. I have told him through Sms that I will leave
my son behind and leave alone but still he
instructed
his securities to lock me inside the house.”
Mrs. Chime further complains she has lost touch
with the real world and all that makes her beautiful
because of the side effects of the drugs she is
taking, stressing that she is under house arrest for
committing no crime.
Of the situation in Government House, she said, “He
does not take care of me personally, the
government gives me allowance to run the house
and that's where I save little from to take care of
my elf, my Mum and few of my siblings,” she said
in the letter. He shut me out of his life years ago; I
don't have access to his apartment. The problem is
enormous; I don't know where to start to explain
from.”
She said that even the security detail in the lodge
has resorted to praying for her, while the few that
can be bought with money are taking advantage of
the situation.
“Police and SS men have been instructed by Br
Sullivan Chime to confine me in a place for a long
time now against my wish [but] it is my wish to
leave these premises,” she said, begging, “Please
assist me to reach to the human rights and say to
them to please come hastily and release me.”
