Women Affairs Minister orders apprehension of Uyo-based Lawyer on viral video brutalising, humiliating his Wife
The video shows the lawyer, who is purportedly based in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, assaulting his wife, who has blood on her mouth and nose.
Mrs Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, Minister of Women Affairs, has criticized a lawyer identified as Mr Ebong in a frightening viral video physically attacking his wife.
The video shows the lawyer, who is purportedly based in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, assaulting his wife, who has blood on her mouth and nose.
According to one of their neighbors, the Ebong has been brutalizing his wife every night for the past four years.
“No be today, I have lived in this compound for four years, every night he would be beating this woman,” the neighbour said.
Reacting to the disturbing video, Ohanenye condemned the action of the man on her official X (Twitter handle) handle, saying,
“This remains one of the most insane and unbelievable scenes one has seen in the brutalization of women. As I have always emphasised, this is a ‘Renewed Hope’ government and such an act can not be allowed in our country.

“On that note, the federal Ministry of Women Affairs @FMWA_ng has ordered the arrest of this demonized lawyer Mr Ebong, who must face the law squally and I promise this act can not be swept under the carpet. Even if the woman decides she doesn’t want her husband to be sued, due to family pressure. the man must face the law as justice will have its way.”
