The wife of the Anambra State governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has vowed to follow up closely the case of the man who set his wife ablaze in Abagana, Njikoka local government area over alleged infidelity to ensure that justice is served.

Receiving detailed briefing of the incident from the Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Mrs Ify Obinabo and her health counterpart, Dr Afam Obidike, Mrs Soludo assured that the matter will not be swept under the table.

She directed the two Commissioners to immediately visit the scene of the incident and update her frequently on the matter.

She said: "I will see to the end of the case, to ensure that the full justice is made to take its prime place in the whole process.

"This present administration takes issues of domestic violence and abuses as serious crimes, and no one who is found guilty of such offences would be let to walk free."

She further expressed disappointment at the rising cases of domestic violence and abuses, recalling her long-term call for serious social reformation, beginning with a systemic approach to fighting drug use and related problems.

She added that the state government will find the best approach to take care of the six children in the most careful manner.
