News and pictures of a lady who was battered by her husband in Benue state circulated the media yesterday and an update to the story has been made by a Facebook user, Mimi Atedze. According
to the post, her husband Morgans Alepa, M, 37yrs, who hails from Kogi state has been arrested by the police. Here is her post on Facebook.
"On receipt of the above complaint from the victim, the NAPTIP Rapid Response Squad reached out to the woman and provided security for her and her two kids. The suspect (husband), Morgans Alepa, M, 37yrs, and a native of
Kabba in Kogi State, who left home after the alleged domestic violence was tracked down and is currently in the custody of NAPTIP. The Case which is currently being investigated, will possibly be prosecuted under the
Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act 2015 which is under the purview of NAPTIP.
A cursory look at the VAPP Act 2015, revealed that, Mr Morgans Alepa could face seven count charge bothering on rape, inflicting physical injury on a person, coercion,
depriving a person of his or her liberty, forced financial dependence or economic abuse, forced isolation or separation from family and friends, and emotional, verbal and psychological abuse, among others. It's a
commendable feat by the DG of NAPTIP, Dame Julie Okah-Donli, Esq, who swiftly supplied all the required resources to the NAPTIP RRS just to ensure that the case is handled to a logical conclusion. NAPTIP is, indeed, on the move now.
