Husband Breaks Silence On Alleged Daughter’s Abuse By Wife in Anambra

The husband of 36-year-old Anulika Onyeanusia has described how he learned of their daughter’s alleged s*xual abuse after seeing a video that allegedly showed his wife abusing the child.

After the video surfaced, Onyeanusia was taken into custody by the Anambra State Police Command. Four children were later rescued from the family’s Onitsha home.

In a video released on Saturday by the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare, Ikechukwu Onyeanyusi claimed to have learned about the alleged abuse after a friend showed it to him on his way back from work on Thursday nite.

He claimed not to have seen the video on social media before.

“I saw the video. It was my wife, and I saw my daughter. She was molesting the child.”

“I saw you! I saw your video! I saw everything, and you are telling me it’s not true? What makes it not to be true?”

“And she said that it’s AI,”

“Before I knew it, police have already come to my house. They said they want to search. I said to them, ‘Okay.’ So they did all the searching they did, they arrested her and all of us left,

“I got a kind of confused and ‘What is this? What is happening? Could this be true?’ Immediately, I wanted to leave, but my friend held me. He said no, no, I should calm down, I should take it easy.”

“I came to her, and I asked her, ‘What exactly is this that I saw on the internet?’ She said what? ‘I saw your video molesting my daughters. How come this happened?’ She said no. That it’s not true,” he recounted

“When they were asking her in the police station, that is when she accepted that it is true. DPO called me because I was outside while she was inside the office with the DPO.

“And the DPO asked me in her presence, ‘Do you know about what your wife is doing with my… daughters?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t know.’

“Then they asked her, ‘Did your husband know about this?’ And she also said no, that ‘I didn’t know… he didn’t know about it.’

“That is when I turned to her, I asked her, ‘Did you do this, really?’ And she said yes

“I got weak. I got tired. How come this kind of a thing can happen? How can you do this kind of a thing?

“I just sat down in the police office, I can’t get myself. I was, you know, reasoning, ‘What is this? What has happened to me?’”

This is extremely distressing—very, very bad—for a mother to commit such an act against her own daughter. It’s hard to comprehend how anyone could do this, and it raises serious questions about the upbringing and training the daughter has received. This heinous act should serve as a stark warning to others, highlighting the importance of protecting our children and maintaining their innocence. Such behavior warrants severe punishment to ensure justice is served. Most importantly, this should be a lesson to all parents and guardians—if you see signs of abuse or misconduct, you must act responsibly to prevent harm and uphold the safety of our children.
