Enugu state First lady calls for help from human rights Activist says She is under House Arrest by the governor

Clara Chime, the First Lady of Enugu State,
says Governor Sullivan Chime, has placed her
under house arrest, and has cried out for
assistance to reach human rights bodies to
rescue her.
In a letter dripping with pain and suffering,
Mrs. Chime disclosed that she married Mr.
Chime in October 2008 but that she has been
unable to share the matrimonial bed with him
for over four years.
Describing her desperate situation, she said
that even President Goodluck Jonathan and
First Lady Patience Jonathan have intervened
with her husband without success.
“My father is late, my Mum and few of my
siblings are confused and have done all kinds
of prayers they know of, 3 of my siblings
prefers me dead than to see me leave the
Government house. He treats my Mum and
my siblings bad,” she wrote.
The Enugu State First Lady said she has been
introduced to two psychiatrists whose names
she gave as Dr. Onwukwe and Dr. Agumo,
who have prescribed “all kinds of drugs that
ends up keeping me acute depressed and also
drives me into hallucinations.”
The doctors, she noted, are scared of her
husband the Governor, to whom nobody can
tell the truth.
According to the letter, the Catholic Bishop
of Enugu state (Callistus Onaga), and top
priests have come to intervene, as have
the President and the First Lady of the
nation, without success.
Mrs. Chime further complains that Governor
Chime has ordered her to leave with her
four-year old son whom she conceived before
their wedding. However, the governor,
according to her, later threatened to disown
the boy should she leave with him.
“He has told everyone he can reach that there
is no marriage between us that I can leave if I
wish to but whenever I plan to leave he
instructs them to lock me in. I have told him
through Sms that I will leave my son behind
and leave alone but still he instructed
his securities to lock me inside the house.”
Mrs. Chime further complains she has lost
touch with the real world and all that makes
her beautiful because of the side effects of
the drugs she is taking, stressing that she is
under house arrest for committing no crime.
Of the situation in Government House, she
said, “He does not take care of me
personally, the government gives me
allowance to run the house and that's where I
save little from to take care of my elf, my
Mum and few of my siblings,” she said in the
letter. He shut me out of his life years ago; I
don't have access to his apartment. The
problem is enormous; I don't know where to
start to explain from.”
She said that even the security detail in the
lodge has resorted to praying for her, while
the few that can be bought with money are
taking advantage of the situation.
“Police and SS men have been instructed by
Br Sullivan Chime to confine me in a place
for a long time now against my wish [but] it
is my wish to leave these premises,” she said,
begging, “Please assist me to reach to the
human rights and say to them to please come
hastily and release me.”
