-How my wife was roasted inside her office by political hoodlums in Abia— Husband

On Wednesday, November 9, 2016, Amaechi Orioha, a 36 –year-old wife and mother of four, was burnt to death by political thugs while she was in her office at Okpuala, the headquarters of Isiala Ngwa North Council, Abia State, Vanguardngr reports.

It was the day Abia State Chapter of PDP held primary election to select chairmanship candidates ahead of next month’s Local Government elections. Her husband, who narrated the sad incident, pointed accusing fingers at some prominent politicians from Ngwa Ukwu and Umuha areas of the Council.

He said: “On Wednesday, November 9, 2016, at about 11.30 am, I was in my house resting after returning from the farm. I got a call from my elder brother, that my wife was involved in fire outbreak in her office.

When I got to the hospital and saw my wife, I lost control; it was like the end of the world for me. I asked her if she recognized the people that set the office on fire. She mentioned three persons, all of them natives of Isiala Ngwa North.

She said that three boys came to the chairman’s office and one of them made a phone call after which one of them poured the fuel around chairman’s office and lit it up.”

Orioha said that his late wife told him that she was crying and pleading with the arsonists to allow her escape from the fire but they refused. One of her colleagues died instantly during the inferno.

He also lamented that the Transition chairman whom his late wife worked for did not come to see her at FMC or orthopaedic hospital but came to their house after the woman died.

Interjecting, his elder brother, Ugonna Orioha, alleged that: “On October 19, 2016, some notable politicians from Ngwa Ugwu and Umuha visited our community to solicit support for their aspirant running for chairmanship of the council.

Some of them threatened that if one of the aspirants, Ginger Onwusibe, wins the election, blood will flow, that they will burn down the council. Now see what happened about two weeks after.”
