Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Echeng Eworo, has confirmed the remand in prison of seven in-laws to a widow, whom they allegedly stripped naked following accusation that she killed her husband in Aguleri community.
The victim was stripped naked and paraded round the community by her in-laws, as curses were rained on her for allegedly causing the death of her husband through adultery.
CP Echeng, on Tuesday, said the seven persons were also remanded in prison, adding that the Anambra State Police Command had continued the search for other suspects involved in the act.
He stated these during a courtesy visit by the Ultimate Business Women and Farmers Association of Nigeria at the police headquarters in Awka.
The CP said those involved in the torture of the widow would face the full wrath of the law, stressing the need to protect the dignity of womanhood.
