Peace Goewam, the underage maid captured in a video that went viral where she was slammed on the ground has been finally rescued by the police authorities in Enugu State.
The woman, Mrs. Amaka Ortolehi, was captured maltreating the child-maid in a disgusting way and manner. This incident led Mr. Ahmad Abdulrahman, Commissioner of Police, Enugu State to launch a man-hunt for her.
The police commissioner said it was an eyesore when he viewed the video. “I gave an order to my technical officers and anti-cult team; this led to her arrest alongside Nkemakolam Ortolehi, her husband. The uncle to the maid, Mr. Jonathan Goewan, who brought the girl to Enugu from Jos and probably sold her to the Ortolehi’s for selfish interest, was also arrested.
The
commissioner of police remarked that everyone involved in the girl child’s
ordeal would face prosecution and appropriate punishment would be meted on
them.
However,
Mrs. Otholehi has blamed the devil for her actions. “I don’t know what
came over me. I do not treat her in such a manner before. You can ask our
neighbors and her school. This is not how we have been living; I am a lover of
children. Anger has put me into this. I love peace and we have been living
together for two years, this is just something that went out of the ordinary.

The Bayelsa Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been reportedly destroyed and set ablaze by aggrieved thugs protesting the annulment of the election of APC candidate, David Lyon by the Supreme Court.
The protest started at Tombia roundabout and was rounded off at the INEC office in Bayelsa State. Therefore, this led to the vandalization of PDP properties. However, the protest was stopped by the combined efforts of the joint military and the police patrol
Also, other properties destroyed include, four security post of the state high court, billboards with the photos of Duoye Diri were vandalized, and a section of the PDP secretariat was also destroyed by fire.
David Lyon
in his reaction to the annulment of his election and the crowning of Duoye Diri
as the governor-elect said the judgment was procured.
This he said
while addressing a press conference in Bayelsa State this morning. Lyon said
the judgment was a “procured judgment”. He has, therefore, pleaded with his
supporters to remain calm and maintain law and order.
Preye Oseke, who represented the sacked governor-elect, David Lyon said;
“We are in
shock. We as a party and as people of Bayelsa are rejecting the judgment completely.
It is a procured judgment. While we have our respect for the revered justices,
we believe that this is not the wish of Bayelsans. Again, we are calling on the
Independent National Electoral Commission not to issue a certificate of return
to the candidate of the PDP because he was unable to score the required 25
percent in two-thirds of the local government areas.
As a party,
we are law-abiding; our properties have been destroyed even amid the judgment
that came this morning. We are calling on all our supporters to remain calm
while our leaders and stakeholders meet and come up with the next line of
action. We believe the right thing will be done. The rule of law will be
upheld.” he declared
