Clara Chime, First Lady Of Enugu State, Begs Human Rights Groups To Release Her

First Lady of Enugu State, Clara Chime says her husband, Governor Sullivan Chime, has placed her under house arrest. She is crying out for assistance to reach human rights bodies to rescue her.

According to a source, 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 prefer 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 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.

"Police and SS men have been instructed by Mr. 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 wrote.

"Please assist me to reach to the human rights and say to them to please come hastily and release me."
