Anambra State Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Honourable Ify Obinabo, has in collaboration with the police at Abagana Community, apprehended a lady, who abused her aged mother.
The intervention came after a video of the said lady brutalizing her mother surfaced on the internet.
Collaborating with the police, the woman was arrested in the early hours of Saturday, and the case, transferred to the state Criminal Investigative Department, CID, Awka.
Reacting to the video where the lady was seen, physically beating, kicking and abusing her aged mother, Honourable Obinabo, lamented on the increasing rate of abuse going on in the society and warned offenders to desist forthwith or face the wrath of the law.
She therefore warned women in particular to always be agents of change by showing love at all times.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Obinabor, who had sheltered the old woman seen laying helpless on the floor in the video after receiving her, immediately took her to the hospital for medical examination and treatment.
The suspect, who is currently at the police custody, while pleading for pardon promised to amend her ways.
