Days after making Dr. Angbo go back to her abusive husband, Benue State First Lady leads walk against gender-based violence

As part of activities to mark the closing ceremony of the year 2020 #16daysofactivism against Gender-Based Violence, GBV, the First Lady of Benue State, Dr Eunice Ortom, on Thursday, led participants in an awareness walk in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

The First Lady led participants through major streets of the town terminated the walk at a hotel, where a dissemination meeting was held. Speaking at the dissemination meeting, Mrs Ortom cautioned that the people must not take the end of the #16daysofactivism period as the end of the fight against GBV.

“This is rather the time to build on the observations and experiences of the period in order to be more determined and committed to ending GBV in Benue State,” She said.

Recall, that on December 8, Dr. Eunice and her husband, Samuel Ortom, the Governor of Benue State, pleaded with Dr. Ifeyinwa Angbo to go back to her abusive husband, Pius.
