Mother and Two Children Arrested for Assaulting 75-Year-Old Father in Anambra State....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Security operatives in Anambra State have arrested a woman and her two children for allegedly assaulting their 75-year-old father, Romanus Obidigwe. The incident occurred in the Awba-Ofemmili community in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State. The suspects, identified as Esther Obidigwe, Ozioma Obidigwe, and Obuka Obidigwe, were apprehended following a complaint filed by the elderly man.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, the Media Aide to the Anambra State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, the arrest came after the victim reported enduring repeated physical abuse at the hands of his family. The statement revealed that the latest assault occurred when Romanus confronted his daughter, Ozioma, about selling his firewood without his consent. The confrontation escalated, leading to the trio tying him up and beating him with a rod, leaving him with injuries.
During a visit to the Commissioner’s office, Romanus, a retired senior civil servant, shared that this abusive behavior from his family has been ongoing. He also disclosed that his children have stopped providing him with food, and his eldest son, Obuka, has been stealing from him, including attempting to claim his retirement benefits from the local government.
Romanus further revealed that he has endured significant hardship within his family, including a forced cessation of his marital relationship since the year 2000. The situation became so dire that a neighbor had to intervene to stop the recent assault, after which the family locked him out of his compound.
When questioned by authorities, Obuka denied being present during the incident, while his mother, Esther, confessed to the crime. Ozioma, however, alleged that she acted in self-defense, claiming her father intended to harm her.
Reacting to the disturbing case, the Commissioner for Women’s Affairs and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, vowed to ensure that justice is served. She emphasized that the ministry is committed to protecting the rights and welfare of all citizens, not just women and children, and warned the public to refrain from criminal activities.

Strategic Partnership Details
-
Formal Agreement: The two agencies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday, July 17, 2026, at the NDLEA headquarters.
-
Operational Integration: The partnership includes provisions for intelligence sharing, coordinated joint operations, officer capacity building, and the exchange of technical resources.
-
Joint Working Committee: A committee will be established to ensure the agreement translates into tangible operational results.
Rationale for Collaboration
-
Shared Criminal Networks: NDLEA Chairman, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), noted that criminal syndicates often engage in both narcotics trafficking and the piracy of creative works, using proceeds from one illicit activity to finance the other.
-
Economic and Social Impact: NCC Director-General, Dr. John Asein, emphasized that organized piracy is a major criminal enterprise that undermines Nigeria’s creative economy, destroys jobs, and weakens national security.
-
Intersecting Supply Chains: Both agencies identified that the same clandestine networks, transportation routes, and financial channels used for drug trafficking are frequently utilized to distribute pirated goods and launder criminal proceeds.
-
Inter-Agency Synergy: The leadership of both organizations highlighted the importance of moving away from isolated operations toward a collaborative model that leverages the specific expertise and intelligence capabilities of each agency.
The initiative aims to more effectively disrupt illegal supply chains, dismantle criminal structures, and protect both the creative sector and the general public from the influence of organized crime.
