Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, the umbrella body of all youth groups in South-East geopolitical zone, has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, wife of the immediate-past Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, for slapping Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, widow of the late Biafra Warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.

Ex-Gov. Obiano’s wife slapped the former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain during the inauguration of Professor Chukwuma Soludo as the new Governor of Anambra State, Thursday at the Government House Awka.

COSEYL in a press statement jointly signed by its National President, Goodluck Ibem; and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Okey Nwaoru, strongly condemned the action which is described as ” abominable” in view of the pedigree of the Ojukwu family.

The statement made available to Vanguard in Abia read in part: “It is the height of insult on the entire Igbo nation for Mrs Obiano to slap the wife of our revered and great Igbo Leader and Icon Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu.
