Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has asked the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. MD Abubakar, to ensure the immediate release from unlawful detention of Mrs. Clara Chime, the First Lady of Enugu State who is being held hostage at Government House Enugu by Governor Sullivan Chime, or be dragged to court.
In a letter dated November 1, 2013, Mr. Falana, representing Mrs. Chime, pointed out that his client has been kept incommunicado in solitary confinement for over four months on the directives of Governor Chime.“Thus our client’s fundamental rights to the dignity of her person, personal liberty, fair hearing, private and family life and freedom of movement guaranteed by the Constitution and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 have been violated without any legal justification,” it said.
“Although our client’s dehumanizing detention conditions have had deleterious effects on her psychological state as well as her mental and physical health she has been denied access to her doctors by her abductors,” the petition said. “It is particularly disturbing to note that some of the police and state security service personnel assigned to secure the safety of the Enugu State governor, his wife and other family members have aided and abetted Mr. Chime in subjecting our client to egregious infringements of her aforesaid fundamental rights.”
It pointed out, however, that unlike the governor who is currently immune from prosecution under the constitution, the police and state security service officials involved in the illegal arrest and detention of Mrs. Chime ought to be sanctioned under the relevant laws.
In a letter exclusively published by SaharaReporters on October 28, Mrs. Chime complained that Governor Chime had placed her under house arrest, and begged human rights bodies to come to her rescue.
She said that eminent personalities such as President and Mrs. Goodluck Jonathan and the Bishop Callistus Onaga of Enugu State and other top priests had attempted to intervene in the matter without success.
Among other things, Mrs. Chime said she had been introduced to two psychiatrists, Dr. Onwukwe and Dr. Agumo, who prescribed “all kinds of drugs that ends up keeping me acute depressed and also drives me into hallucinations.”

May God help her out.Hmmmmmmmmm women go through a lot
Is the meeting between ASUU and FG not important Linda? Everyone seems to be acting as if everything is fine when in actual fact it is not. We've been home for close to 5months now and yet the nobody seems to hear our cry. Hmmmmm it is well in Jesus name. AMEN
Nawa oOoo, the tory be as e get oOOoooo !
If this is true, I would blame Mr Chime coz whatever the problem was, he woulda quietly solved it indoors. Now itz gonna be making headlines and we'll hear different sides of a story we shouldn't even be interested in.
Dis is serious!
His immune by virtue of the 1999 constitution till the end of his tenure as governor
So is only asuu they should talk about? Angel abeg allow us discuss other issues!! But similar stuff happened to the former 1st lady of enugu too!! And sulivan chime is a wicked man, this is his second wife
Wen ur husband is a governor - he can do that to you
Her story is pathetic,her husband sleeps around lik she doesn't exist, has children from her own sister,he has turned her to a lunatic and trust Psychiatrist,they wold make money out of the Gov by pumping her wiv all sort of antipsychotics tht wold get her crazier forgetting tht the Gov too has played a major role in making her 'crazy'...Mrs Chime on ur own part u married some1 elses husband and inherited the wickedness from him and his grown up kids...I hope ur case woldnt be as bad as Kalu Orjis wife's case...Wishing u all the best in ur fight against the Gov..
Is it by force to remain in a marriage? an wa o, let him release the poor woman
Man inhumanity to woman
Dis is ridiculous! Why on earth would he do such a thing? Dats barbaric!
When u marry ur papa mate, don't make noise if he decides to flog u like a child.
... Wen the (with all due respect) nigga'z first wyf left him n all her kids n fled, most ppl probly thot she was a fool for leavin all of that behind (includin becomin madam first lady). Wen then Miss Clara ws approached m sure the money n the power helped, in no little measure, to secure her favour... Let ths serve as a detterent 2 yung ladies out there hu r more interested in wat a guy has to offer than who he really is, b4 walking down the aisle... Dnt understand? Js ask Mrs. Clara... Sketch.
hmm God help us
Nat my headache..

Sisi Clara at house arrest! Atu ochaa!!! Atu ochaa !!!! Atu ochaa!!! ,this is atuochalicious !!!
Bia Linda Nwa ikeji jiri Oso postuo my comenti oooo
Who is talking about immunity there? Nigeria is a signatory to the African charter, therefore the African charter will trump that immunity nonsense.
This is an international policy matter, and a restraint on a person's liberty has no justification whatsoever.
Furthermore, Even if they can not take chime to court now, his wife must be released, slave trade was banished 400 years ago, she is a free being, not a slave.
Ogboni tinz
Chima u were d one dat saw her ad married her..,plz let d poor gal b.he only want a space to fly all over d state.take ur time man rem dat sitt u re now,u re not going 2 b there 4 ever.
So serious indeed.. God help her Õøº°˚˚°º
Seriously serious olorun akoeyo o
#ojukokoro#
Preposterous story.It givs me d creeps! Dis is y am totally against immunity 2dis warloads cald polliticians.
Kai, wetin dis woman do dis man to warrant dis treatment? ogini?
Wonders shall never cease!
I wonder why he should keep his wife under house arrest, even if she has committed an offence is it a way of punishment. It's really sad bcos I can't think about such happening to me. Wishing her all the best.
If is true, detaining her is not d best option..Gov....come on
What did she do that result to this
When she was warned not to enter by the first wife she thought all will be rosy cos he's a gov.
I see a well kept family secret about to step into full public scrutiny...
Eh yaa. Ppple who live in enugu use to tell me abt the atrosities of gov chime.. How many wives he had, infact the gov dey flex women
Ewu hausa! What do u mean by she made her bed? Did she snatch Chime from u? Were u d one Chime was fucking before she came on board?
Even though Chime had been sleeping with u which I'm sure is d fact, he must ave bought u one of d latest cars....so her snatching d governor from ur silly ass doesn't guarantee d young lady's house arrest, ok?
My dear, I tire oh...as in eeh,,,,I dnt even knw where to start....I hate it each time I come here all am gon' be seeing will be abt skinny bikini body nd blonde hair...no news abt ASUU strike or even sports of all time
U r soso stupid nd heartless I wonder ow ur gf copes
Hmmmm......dis is indeed violation of human right
Somebody said he will not pity d woman bcos she brought dat 2 herself can we know how plsssss?
Nah wah ooooooooo. This is wicked.
We women are living in a mans world in nigeria the man impregnated the wife younger sister and still kept the woman on house arrest, this is a country where girls get raped and nothing is done anyway he will pay for it
Falana, it's your job. This woman must be free. I am waiting....#wink#.
there is a saying in this world what goes around comes around, is clara actually the first lady of the state, the answer is No, when Sulivan was not the Governor where was clara, when you try to reap where you did not sow, you always either run into Trouble or get your finger Burnt,Clara should tell us what Father Mbaka told her.
To be hornest is the treatment not fair, but grape vine had it that her sanity is in doubt, that instead of staging a dance od shame outside is better to keep her indoor on Medication.
HmMmM
~D great anonymous!
I pity her small, but serves her right. Karma is catching up with her....
Nawa oooooo, dis is rili crios
Mrs Sullivan....stop being a victim and fight for your rights. I hope she doesn't back down. But trophy wives like her should beware. There are consequences of being trophy wives like the man being in control.
She is not just on a house arrest,let her say de truth, is because she has been running mad 4 some times now and de reason why she is running mad is that chima iimpergnate de sister he was suppose 2 marry be4 she clara over take her ,so let her suffer 4 Her sin and linda post my comment.
Omo see gobe.
When a little girl decides to marry for money and power she should face the consequences hope all u useless gold diggers are learning may this be ur portion. Marry for love, men are no longer mugus
Duchess or whatever u call urself,r u not a bloody foolish cunt for what u just said?mscheww.its stupid how one wld assume Clara put herself in dis situation,no 1 really knws who deir partner is until they r married.even after 30 yrs of marriage,pple develop new traits. I feel for the woman.mental abuse is not a funny thing to experience...be considerate
Le Bebe
can all d ladies of LIB learn plenty frm dis pathetic story. Some f u have vowed nt to marry a poor man can u see wat it taste like been married to someone reach, dnt get it twisted nt all are like dat. The Governor gives her all dat she wants but is she satisfied now wit dis house arrest. Pls my sista look before u leap.d prestigous wed she had dose ones are gone now, she is indeed in pain. However we man shuld take it easy dat is barbaric. If a gov can treat her wife like dis wat happens to d masses. Nigeria our problem seem endless buh Jesus is indeed our saviour.
Its the Governor's so called immunity that gives him the guts to put wife under house arrest...he should be stripped of that immunity and put in jail...
Na Linda be ASUU or FG? Go aso rock go protest ooh. Rapu Linda aka.
Its a true story......I know her
if a governor of a state can infringe on his own wife's fundamental rights by keeping her incommunicado for months...how then do our leaders expect robbers,rapists etc to stop trudging on peoples lives like trash when they have such examples from the so-called leaders to follow??
i believe this gist coz i haven't heard about her movement on charity or women's conference stuff like other governor's wives
Mhnnnnnn women suffer a lot hw can a human place anoda human on 4mnths ouse arrest dt is uncalled for nd traumatic. Pple r wicked especially our so caled politicians
Wicked politicians putin ur own soul under ouse arrest......
@angel abi oooooo ... First lady ndo d lord is ur strenght
I think he should be removed from his position , this case is clearly a win for her but then again this is naija and anything can happen and the criminals get away Scott free .
HMMMM..its well.
Na wah Ooº°˚ ...
Na wah Ooº°˚
Seriously is dis governor okey @ all, I think he needs d psychiatrists nt d wife biko.
You are d kid cos u still reason like one. How can u ask questions meant for toddlers
Very true. From a friend to Chimes kids (first wife).
I heard she's nt d 1st wife dat she was chime's 1st daughter's frnd n along d line she hooked up wil chime.........................if dis rumour is 2ru,den law of kama is back 2her, but if nt,let God judge,No mata wat is 2ru or false abt d stori,chime has no right 2tak law in2 his hands,pls let justice take place.................#ada#
na CLARA be this....kai! she no fine again..see as she don fat up. too much much food. i dont understand this things with we africans, once we see wealth we go begin chop food like foul....
Linda...sadly a lot of these commentators are a bunch of retards and fools. Some one is crying out for help and all they do is make such foul and callous statements. What has become of our humanity? Please tell me this is not a reflection of the society as it is today if so...I really do pray for Nigeria. We may be worse than the so called leaders that we so vehemently abuse and criticize each day. God help us and also save this lady from her captors. Oh bee
Hmm...dis world and ¶tƺ wonders,tinz r J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ never the way d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ seem...I'm sure a young lady sumwher sumhw wud Н̲̣̣A̶̲̅vε̲̣̣̣̥ bin wishin 2 b in mrs chime's shoes nt knwin W̶̲̥̅̊ɑ̣̣̝̇̇†̥̥ ¶tƺ lyk 2 b in her shoes..al D̶̲̥̅̊α̲̅τ̲̅ glitters truly is nt gold.*im out!*
Pls talk abt ASSU strike and stop giving us gist dat doesn't intreast us.we are more concern abt ASSU right nw dats were our intreast lies
Mrs Clara "madam first lady', when u went ahead to marry another woman's husband did u call us to come and help u enjoy him, now the story has turned sour, and u are inviting us come and settle matter, pls carry your own cross we are equally carrying ours!
She is mentally retarded ooooooo,I think dts d main reason,she's under house arrest.
Don't bother urself Angel, by 2014ASUU will definitely get tired.
I think she has mental issues, her hubby is just trying to keep it hushed up but d woman no gree, everybody will soon know what's up!
clara,u deserve wat u r gettn nw.shebi u chased out d govnor's 1st wif n tok her place?ngwanu,d utali u used 2 do dat was neva trown away oo.it has bin brought out 4 use on ur bumbum.enjoy.am sure d 1st wif is sittn down in front of her tv n sippn her wine.
Any man who decides
2marry d wife's sis. Shld c dis coming. Chime is full of shit n deserves any publicity coming his way.
You are absolutely correct. She is the cause of her problem,whatever a man sow that he shall reap. When she was busy sleeping around with goverrnor's friends she didn't know he wld find out??? What was she thinking?? To top it all up she left a relationship of years who happens to be governors friend just cos she wanted to be first lady.thinking money is all. I remember seeing her ex in pain. Now ur first lady ur complainin.
Why is she on house arrest self? and its time the review the constitution
Who knows, maybe she is a loose cannon!
U r a big goat wit no brain
Women!!!! Why do men maltreat them? So inhumane. May God intervene please.
Clara igwe.she caused all dis.Now,she was my friend in ABSU and She denied schooling there.Now tell me how ur old friends would come 2 ur aid when u denied us all.Plz Linda let her know we know she's in trouble and she plz sort her issues out wit her family cos she knew what she did 2her husband 2lock her indoors.Let d truth be Told chibuzor igwe.
Her jazz made her go loco. Poor woman.
May God hlp both of them
Wat goes around comes around... Wat goes up negatively most come down speedily... I remember hw dis lady got married to Sullivan as a runs girl after sumtimes she started harassing girls publicly... Now she is cryin for help... Let dis serve as a warnin to ladies. I wish her well in her struggle...
Abeg dat one is their own wahala, when it was sweet for her no body hear o, now trouble don come the whole must intervene. Yeye de smell.
Hmmmmmm wat kind of life is dis our God is nt at sleep ooOo
Like seriously what has the woman done wrong to be caged like an endergered specie
Exactly immunity ko
They will claim she's mad nw or even try to kill her by poisoning her food. May be she wants to expose his secret. He is a very heartless being hw can u do that to anybdy? Talk more of ur wife. He shd face d laws of d land!!
NA Wa o! This is very serious
Everyone knows the Chimes family secret. It's her secret and her mother's secrets you don't know. If Chime replies all of you even you will be weak. Her mother should take her back to the dibia who made her mad. Let this be a lesson to all. Rotten lady and equally rotten governor. Exactly, she was dating his friend and her sister and another friend were dating Chime. Their mother used her priestess powers to put her in front and she got pregnant and the man married her. Drop her with Father Mbaka or Deeper Life or MFM.
This story keeps having various dimensions, i got a message from someone who is her close friend saying its all rumour and that clara isn't even in the country. then again i have no idea if its just a cover up story, if this is really true its sad. same happened to late mrs hadijat Audu, former kogi state governors late wife till she escaped to the UK and later died years after on return to Nija. these politicians are wicked and soo diabolic. lord help us
Its wt ple get cos of greed, she could hv asked y d 1st wife left, she wntd to b 1st lady..all dt gliters is nt gold..wish her well.. Wickedness in d heart of men
This is just pure evil. The name Gov chime really agitates me. i would advised Mrs chime to be unfazed in this unpleasant situation to avoid the feeling of malignancy for her husband that is if it has'nt creeped in already also Mr falana should be incisive in this case because it involves the Gov. This is infuriating!
Chukha
Poor woman. "Oni nkan tan gbojule!"
She thought she could handle a principality. Ask Udi people about the man and even his father.
No he is not okey..he is iheanacho. Thank me later.
Machoism is quite evident in our nation and this is just one of the numerous examples. She either did not know the 'demon' she married or she did it just for the money. I sincerely hope they settle this amicably cos such self exerting individuals would go any length to protect their 'masculinity'.
She and her sister were comfortably sharing the governor with other girls before he finally married her. In her little mind, he would stop the parole?? Her biggest mistake was fighting those other girls after their marriage, the public confrontations went too far hence she was tagged 'mad'.
na werrin u dey find u go see... if person tell am say when she become first lady she go dey sidon inside out " house arrest" she for lol..... abegiiiii alll dis high flyer girls make we hear word... she pursue the main wife commot now she don see werrin d woman dey see so she shouldnt complain
Tru talk my dear, she tot dat d first wife no lyk betta tin. Ladies lets look before we leap esp wen it comes to marriage. Character is d most essential tin to sort for nd nt wealth. In claras case nw, d wealth nd luxury is dia bt .............sometin is missing nd it lead to her depressive mood dat led to visiting a psychiatrist dat also led to ha house arrest.
Ok na"we man"
You are mad o! Did she call out to ABSUITES for help? Okoko, trying to claim knowledge. Mscheew. .....
am sure dis whole issue started since the impregnation of the first lady Sis, that was published som months ago, well mrs Chime u jst have to endure d pain till help comes ur way, the Rich als Cry. eating dry eba in happiness is far beta than eating turkey in pain/agony.
Poor lady!
Be strong and be more prayerful now.
With friends like you who needs an enemy
linda,when you sister Laura flaunts ur bags and shoes that cost 800k and above,somemany young girls will want to be like you,forgetting u have worked hard for yours,so its such girls dat find themselves in this situation.linda you are a role model, of what use is it,for your sister to tell the whole world on instagwram that ur cheapest handbag is 200k?
Somehow I agree with this comment,if u guys knw clara n sulivans story,how dey came to be,u will agree wit me dat she brought this on herself,we d ppl of Enugu state do not pity Clara one bit. Though our Governor has so many issues tormenting him already. Now you knw Karma is real Clara..
Yep ma man! ...u make sense , Most of these very very rich people have serious skeletons in their cupboards....what we the outsiders see is just the glamor and razzmatazz!....... The woman enter and she don see say all that glitters ain't gold!..... i feel for her! ....To our young ladies out there wey no dey look promising young mehn! but dey look for already made niccurs, Beware! ...............See wetin a whole first lady of a state dey go through! ...........Who knows wetin d ist wife see wey make her tear race! All i code from this is that......Atimes money and fame don't buy happiness! Shikena!
*acutely depressed* why cant people speak good english?
this is not normal, they should all confess jor.
Most Nigerian men suck.God help her.
Coming to Nigeria for xmas. Libers pls I need a rich politician to roll with. thanks sweet hearts
I think dat she's being locked up cause of her mental problem and not as a result of the governor's callousness. Heard that she hasn't been mentally okay from the onset.

Make all of una go sleep.
Nice comments! ......but your ENGLISH no try at all....HABA!

Best comment so far
Church rat remain poor bcos U want who ll marry U 4 love. Its nt in d status its in d person. After all a man's real character is known wen he has everything.
@ nnenna as I read thru gloria's comment I almost gave up . Haahahaha
Final comment.. let the governor be killed by firing squad but b4 den the woman must tell us openly what happened bcos she is as good as sitting with a python. Who agrees with me.
ASUU W̶̲̥̅̊ȋ̝̊̅ ̄ι̥ι̥ call off strike after 2015 election, ☺ķªª¥? S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ make ℓ̊ hear word Fø̲̣̣я̅ here, M̶̲̥̅̊y̶̲̥̅̊ ears are ful for God's sake.

No one. You are on ur own.

Is a pity to traumatise like dis. God help her
I cry as i read this story...Clara Igwe,Sociology student of Absu,pretty girl with a very contagious laugh,with her full legs...CHAI!!!.Truth be told,all her dream was to marry a rich man,even if was to be the 100th wife.She is very diabolic,am not suprised at all.If the devil gives u something,when its time he will collect it back with shame and agony.I remember when she used to date Terry Wyre or is it Suleh and Tijiani,that was when her father was on the wheel chair before he passed.Saying that she got served what she deserved will be mean n wicked...But the truth is,she needs prayers cos she has slept with so many diabolic men and has soiled her hands with Native doctors...They should take her to a church and soak her in a drum of holy water and annoiting oil...its that bad.God bless and deliver you Clara Onyebuchi Igwe.my fine Isuochi friend before.
To all runs girls who think they are smarter than the wives, learn from this story.
Clara, start by asking those married women you caused pain before hooking Chime to forgive you.
When you dey waka with their husbands as Mrs so and so, you no know say your turn go come?
It was hilarious the way you were chasing our own husband's mistresses all over Enugu with Soilders and taking back the cars Chime gave them.
You knew the guy was supper randy but still went ahead to marry him. How did you two meet?? How did you get him to marry you?? You are not telling that part of the story.
I hope you learn from this experience and change for good when all this is over.
lol
Am telling u. She enjoyed d man all alone. Now, let her quietly carry her cross well o, as we are all silently carrying ours.
Story story, story. seeing is believing.
nigerians , so quick to judge... let he that is without sin cast the first stone.... if u all are claiming karma at the moment, be also aware that you are sowing seeds too... wait for ur own harvest very soon... as 4 clara... i pray that you find help and peace of mind.. i pray that God almighty the one who loves you and doesnt condemn u , will see you through these trying times..
Clara Igwe has now become a desperate woman and frustrated presently residing in Abuja now she dupes her mail boyriends in order to source for cash by lying to them she is going for brain surgery.
