Why I was imprisoned by my Husband- First Lady Enugu State Clara Chime...

Clara Chime, the estranged wife of Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, has advanced her quest for freedom from illegal house arrest by petitioning the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

Last week, in a story published by SaharaReporters, she called on the human rights agencies to come to her aid.  Only yesterday, human rights advocate Femi Falana, on her behalf, petitioned the Inspector General of Police to set her free without delay. 

In her letter to the NHRC, Mrs. Chime describes an abusive relationship which has led her into depression.  While they have been married for five years, she says the relationship has broken down irretrievably in the past couple of years.  

“We do not have a relationship anymore and the situation inevitably led to my nervous breakdown. I have been diagnosed with severe depression and at some point was quite suicidal.”

Saying she has been subjected “to the most horrific and intolerable of conditions to cause my demise,” she enumerated the major issues to include: lack of sexual relationship with her husband for four years; being deprived of responsibilities as a wife; being prevented from bonding with her four-year-old son; and being barred me from receiving visitors, whether family or friends.

She noted that three weeks ago, a lady friend who visited her was stopped from seeing her and the result is now complete incarceration from the outside world.

“In effect, I am locked up in my bedroom, without access to anybody,” she pleaded.

According to the letter, “I am only allowed food but no access to fresh air; I have been locked up because I demanded to leave, even without my son. Governor Chime recently revoked my land allocation; the governor is doing everything possible to break my will.”

She told the commission that her desire is simply to be allowed to leave.
“If I have committed any crime, I request that due process should be followed. I was also recently attacked by my husband before the visitor mentioned above who is a living witness and will be prepared to testify.”

She also accused Governor Chime of paying a doctor to inject her with all sorts of drugs, and that she is sometimes restrained and forced to take the drugs.

“I would also wish the Nigerian Medical Council be informed of the activity of this doctor who is only interested in my husband’s wishes and does not care about my suffering. Medical confidentiality is not part of this doctor’s tool,” she wrote.  

Stressing that she has no intention of taking her own life, she warned that should she die, it must be clear that it must have been brought about her husband. 

“The possibility of the doctor injecting me with a lethal substance must never be underestimated,” she wrote. “I have a friend who is a good friend of the family and would collaborate a lot in the event of any mishap to me and wish not to mention the name but he would contact you ultimately.”
