The Deputy Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State, Senator Uche Ekwunife, has expressed deep outrage and sorrow over a viral video circulating online showing a mob brutalizing two women one of them visibly pregnant over allegations of theft.

In a statement personally signed by her, Senator Ekwunife condemned the act in the strongest terms, describing it as a gross violation of human dignity and a direct assault on the sanctity of womanhood, motherhood, and the rule of law.

“No grievance, no matter how justified it may seem in the eyes of the perpetrators, can ever warrant such dehumanizing cruelty,” she said.

Senator Ekwunife described the sight of a pregnant woman being subjected to such inhumane treatment as “particularly gut-wrenching”, noting that it constitutes an unpardonable crime against humanity.

She stressed that mob justice has no place in a civilized or democratic society, warning that it undermines law enforcement, erodes public trust, and perpetuates a dangerous cycle of lawlessness and impunity.

“This barbaric incident is a shameful reminder of how far we still have to go in entrenching civility, due process, and respect for human rights in our society,” Ekwunife stated.

The senator called on the Inspector-General of Police to immediately launch a thorough investigation into the incident, apprehend all perpetrators, and ensure they face the full weight of the law.

“Justice must not only be done—it must be seen to be done,” she emphasized.

Senator Ekwunife also extended her deepest sympathies and solidarity to the victims, urging the relevant authorities to provide them with urgent medical care, psychological support, and legal assistance.

“No woman should ever endure such horror,” “Their dignity must be restored, and their safety guaranteed.”she said.

Finally, the senator appealed to all Nigerians to reject mob justice in all its forms and instead channel grievances through lawful and constitutional means.

“Together, we can build a society where justice is served in courtrooms—not on the streets,” she added.
