The Anambra State Ministry of Women’s Affairs and Social Welfare has launched a probe into the alleged murder of Ogechukwu Okafor by her husband, Elijah Ibeabuchi, a pastor. The incident occurred on August 13, 2024, in Nimo community.

The deceased’s family reported suspicious behavior from the husband, contradicting his claim that she fell from a four-story building.

Commissioner Ify Obinabo seeks support from stakeholders, women’s groups, and human rights activists to ensure justice for Ogechukwu.

The state government vows to thoroughly investigate the incident.
