ANAMBRA – A women organisation based in Anambra State, the  Ultimate Business Women And Farmers Association of Nigeria UBWFAN has described nude women protest in Awka, Anambra State as an abomination.

The women group who  visited the state Commissioner of Police Mr Aderemi Adeoye  in his office, said the action is not in the nature and character of Anambra women.

The leader of the UBWFAN, Hon Nkiru Nwagbo while addressing the Commissioner said it is highly abominable for women to protest  naked in public for any reason.

According to Nwagbo; ” Going by our painstaking investigation it has been discovered that those women are not from Anambra state but some prostitutes recruited from outside the state and paid to go on a protest”

“We want to use this opportunity to state that Anambra women are well trained, a highly cultured and well mannered and will not reduce themselves to this act of lunacy” she said.

Nwagbo also advised Anambra women not to be used by desperate elements in the state who are out for their selfish gains, noting that the women are on the receiving end of the entire show of shame by  creating a wrong impression about women of  the state.

She  commended the police in the state  for their proactive actions, stating  that  crime fighting has received greater attention in the state to the extent that the activities of the unknown gunmen and miscreants have been reduced in the affected eight local government areas of Anambra state.

“Also the confidence of the general public in the command has been restored as people now go about their lawful duties without fear or apprehension to the glory of God” she said .

Speaking on the association’s programme of events in the next two months, the President Hon Nwagbo noted that the function would attract women from the twenty one local government areas of the state.

According to her, the body has since inception been supportive to women and children through charity activities and skill  acquisition which have been far reaching.

In his response, the  Commissioner of Police Mr Aderemi Adeoye noted that the incident did not depict  the Anambra women, adding that the protest was staged and managed by those who have been using the cover of fighting insecurity to execute cult killings in Awka town.

He said   the perpetrators have been arrested and are facing charges before the law court.

“Some people went to town using some people to drive home their inordinate demands and such actions are not welcomed in Anambra state” he said .

Adeoye who commended the Ultimate Business Women And Farmers Association of Nigeria for creating synergy and homogeneous relationship among Anambra women stated that such bodies and organisations are needed as a weapon to fight crime in the state through forming cooperatives societies.
