Advert enquiry
The leader of Etche Local Government Legislative Assembly in Rivers State, Mrs Cynthia Nwala, was beaten and nearly stripped naked during a fracas at the council secretariat on Monday, October 5.
Speaking to journalists via telephone after the incident, Nwala said after she and other councillors screened nominees for appointment as supervisory Councillors and special assistants and that after the exercise, she decided to go home with the mace of the assembly due to some rumours that it may be hijacked by hired thugs to impeach her.
Nwala told newsmen that as she was about leaving the Council Secretariat, the Council Chairman allegedly ordered his CSO to beat and strip her naked, while her car was badly damaged.
Nwala alleged that the Deputy Leader of the Legislative Assembly, in connivance with some Councillors and the Chairman of Council had also wanted to remove her from office because she hails from Ikwerre ethnic nationality and not from Etche, though she is married to an Etche man.
However, the Chairman of the Council denied the allegations of being the mastermind of the incident. He claimed that his officer intervened in the fracas between Nwala and her colleagues to calm a charged situation.
In a press statement signed by Robinson Oluor, his Chief Press Secretary, the Etche council boss said Nwala was trying to take the mace to her house when her fellow councillors accosted her and this led to the fracas.
“The Chief Security Officer to the Council Chairman is not a member of Etche Legislative Assembly and will never be part of the internal issues of the Etche Legislative Assembly.
It is also important to clearly state that the Chief Security Officer to the Council Chairman never attacked or harassed the Leader of the House; as he is not one of the councillors and the Etche Local Government Council leadership has much respect for the Etche Legislative Assembly.''the statement read
Anyanwu added that he has launched an investigation into the matter.
Angel, what would have happened if this was you?
Any little thing that has to do with women, the next thing the men folk will do is to strip naked. Even the so-called ones in positions of authority who should know better are also culpable. What a shame.
you are a stupid idiot...is angel worse than your prostitute of a mother that you will not let her rest? sick fool...it is your type who love to strip women naked at every opportunity...sick animal like you
Any little thing that has to do with a man the next thing the women folk will do is to blackmail. Even the so-called ones in positions of authority who should know better are also culpable. What a shame.
So sad for such that happened but it seems she ceased the opportunity to show her breast very well lol. May God deliver our nation from lawlessness and give us a kind and respectful spirit, in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen
I condemn this assault and violation of Mrs. Cynthia Nwala and destruction of her vehicle. and the Chairman, CSO and the Thugs that carried out this shameful act must be prosecuted and jailed. Regardless of what she did, there are civil ways of restraining her from taking possession of the Mace. Finally, the behaviour of Etche LGA Chairman and the councilors is an embarrassment to the Etche nation and Rivers state in general.
God bless u. are dey nuts? somebody's wife and mother faaa. over to wike.
All these Gov Wike ceremonial Chairman and Councillors are causing serious security issues in Rivers State.

See mumu
This is highly condemnable. Striping a woman naked is evil. Women are not to be ridiculed
This is so barbaric.
Carry mace to her house kwa 😳😳😳😳. Beat her up again. One day BUHARI will go home with NIGERIA😁😁😁😁😁
Obese rich thick pussy. she will be very good to lay among the Lillies only if she pays for the service.
sick goat...we know you have fucked your mother severally so you think it is ok to fantasize with all women...fool
As much as I'm against corruption, Striping her naked is a gender based violence
Though it isn't right..but how can you carry the staff of authority to your house..women get mind sha
Perverts everywhere, if were to be a man they will not think of stripping him
But why will she want to take the mace to her house in the first place? Is the mace her own property. That was quite out of place. I am sure she put up a stiff resistance during the struggle to wrestle the mace from her hence the eventual opprobrium she was later visited with. A very instructive lesson, no doubt for executive rascality like this one.
Linda please protect her dignity by at least blurring her face if you must show the image. You bloggers will do anything for clicks, I wonder if you will publish images of your sister or mum in a state of semi-nudity, this is someone's wife/mother.
Blurr which face? The agbero woman that has made a banner with the picture and carrying it with other women and protesting in front of the government house.
This is what Rivers state is today. Thugs roaming the streets and dictating what happens or doesn't. The silly thing about it all is that, Rivers people, no matter how clearly bad this is, they will still choose sides, stay quiet or blame the woman.
Carry mace to her house? is that in the constitution. Even if they want to impeach you, they will follow due process. Politics is not do or die. There must be something in the DNA of politicians that makes them think an official position is there’s for life. In as much as I condemn this brutish act, there are clear indications that she is not in good terms with people surrounding her. With all these assassinations flying around, not to talk of insecurity, I will even resign by myself. This incident is a culmination of a brewing fracas, but trust Ikwerre women, they do not retreat.
If I tell my wife not to go into politics I would be a misogynist. But the truth is I no fit join the politics because it is a dangerous game.
"she decided to go home with the mace of the assembly due to some rumours that it may be hijacked by hired thugs to impeach her.." Madam, did you involve the security authority when you heard the rumours? Was there no other way to safeguard the mace? How would hijacking the mace be used to impeach you? Nigeria is just a jungle sha!
When we said from September things will begin red, you thought its all joke ba? Make una wait o, e go begin red well well. If you know any politician biko tell them to leave politics for now. Not the best time to participate in naija politics. We don talk now, small time news go begin fly
She behaved like a thug and was treated as one. As a woman she is expected to behave better, and now she has disgraced women especially those in politics as if the are all agberos.
"because she hails from Ikwerre ethnic nationality and not from Etche, though she is married to an Etche man."; Now what's the meaning of that???
Lol junk journalism... the person that wrote this article was definitely paid. They subtly wrote that she attempted to take the Mace home. Is it her property? What if it was during the attempt to take the mace from her, her clothes got torn. People should get all the facts right before being duped by paid bloggers
Cheiiiii ,this woman is someone's mother and Sister !! No matter the offence of this woman, I totally condemned this level of violent act against her,to the extent of stripping her naked! Is it because she is a woman?!! Men for national assembly never carry mace go home before??! Did anyone beat them and strip them naked??! Nonsense!!
It’s wrong for her to be humiliated in this manner no matter her offence. She’s a public official for crying out loud. Every grievance must be settled via the legal system. That’s what the courts are there for. As a man I feel very embarrassed that this happened to her.
