The drama continues......
It has been reported that the wife of the Governor of Enugu State, Clara Chime, has finally been evicted out of the Enugu State Government House where she alleged she was held hostage by her husband, Sullivan Chime.
The decision to leave the house was allegedly reached after a meeting between Mrs Chime’s family and the governor on Saturday.
On Monday morning, Mrs Chime left in a convoy of six vehicles to her mother’s home at the Coal City Garden Estate behind CBN headquarters in Enugu.
She was allegedly refused the custody of her four-year old son by her husband.
Thisday media reports that Mrs. Chime’s personal effects were packed for her by the governor and his security detail, and she was forcibly taken out of the Government House to her mother’s residence at House 38, Coal City Garden Estate, Enugu.
Mrs. Chime, struggled to depart with her four-year-old son, was bundled into a convoy of six cars and taken to her mother’s home.
However, on getting there, the mother who had not been notified that her daughter was being brought home, was not at home which forced Mrs. Chime and the security operatives to sit in their cars waiting for her mother to return.
After waiting for close to two hours, the governor, who was obviously embarrassed that news of his wife’s eviction had leaked and was attracting journalists who rushed to the mother’s estate, ordered that Mrs. Chime be brought back to the Government House.
However, he still intends to evict his wife today and hand her over directly to her mother.
THISDAY news learnt that the governor took the decision to drive away his wife because she had petitioned the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) over her confinement in the Government House against her wish.
Mrs. Chime, who had admitted suffering from a nervous breakdown over what she alleged was as a result of her husband’s maltreatment of her, was however projected by the governor last week as someone who is mentally unstable requiring the administration of drugs by a doctor she does not trust and her confinement in her bedroom.
Meanwhile, the NHRC yesterday said it had not conducted any medical investigation to determine the mental health of Mrs. Chime.
A statement by NHRC said the commission was yet to reach a determination on the petition received from the governor’s wife.
The commission said: “The complaint is currently being investigated and will be subjected to the commission’s Rules of Procedure. The commission is a credible national institution that will never be biased or compromised in case management or any matter before the commission.”

Earlier in his 'action Defense speech', The gov. stated :
"Would I have been a better husband if I asked her to leave the Lodge because of her medical challenge? Would it not have been more convenient for me if I allowed her to stay and be treated in the hospital?
“But like I said earlier, I wanted the best for her and that’s why I pleaded with the doctors to have her treated at home. That’s also why I allowed her access to her telephone and laptop which unfortunately led to the stage where I’m now being falsely accused of imprisoning or detaining my own wife.”
Now she is being thrown out,... and just like that???
I dare to state here that Governor Chime is just contradicting things for himself.....
My lips are sealed.
