‘I gave her a dirty slap, pulled away her wig’ – Bianca Ojukwu gives details of fight with Mrs. Obiano

Bianca, widow of the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has given a detailed account on what transpired between her and former Anambra First Lady, Ebele Obiano.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the incident happened on Thursday afternoon in Awka, the Anambra State capital at the inauguration ceremony of Governor Charles Soludo, an incident that momentarily disrupted the swearing-in ceremony.

Speaking on the incident for the first time, Ojukwu said she slapped Ebele Obiano in self-defense.

He words, “She asked if I had come to celebrate their last day in office. But I ignored her completely. Then, she kept aggressively putting her hands on my shoulders and shouting. While I ignored her verbal onslaught, as advised by those sitting around me, I requested twice that she refrained from touching me with her hands.

“She proceeded to do so yet again and went further to grab at my headtie, which she attempted unsuccessfully to remove. This very act is considered a sacrilege to a titled matriarch such as myself in Igbo culture.

“It was at this point that I stood up to defend myself and gave her a dirty slap to stop her from attacking me. As she made towards me, I then pulled away her wig. She held onto her wig with her two hands and tried to take the wig away from me.”
