Man Narrates How His Wife Was Roasted Alive Over Politics In Abia State

For the Orioha family of Umuezeagu, Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North Council Area of Abia State, Wednesday, November 9, 2016, would remain a sad day for them forever. This was the day their 36 –year-old wife and mother of four, Mrs. Amaechi Orioha, was burnt to death by political thugs while she was in her office at Okpuala, the headquarters of Isiala Ngwa North Council.

It was the day Abia State Chapter of  PDP held primary election to select chairmanship candidates ahead of next month’s Local Government elections. It was a huge shock, pain and grief for the Oriohas that their wife who like any other day, went to work but could not return. Rather, what they heard was the devastating news that she was trapped in the office of the Chairman of the council where she worked as a clerical officer. Since then, life has not been the same for her 51- year- old husband/ farmer, Mr. Emmanuel Orioha and his four children, two boys and two girls and indeed, the entire Orioha family.
