The Nigerian Optometric Association is seeking justice for one of its members, Dr. Ogechi Ezeagu, who was allegedly strangulated by her husband following domestic violence, on Monday, July 10, 2023.
Dr. Anderson Chimeziri, the president of the association in a statement, on Monday, August 7, demanded that a thorough investigation be carried out to unravel the true cause of the death, and serve justice to all parties.
He called on concerned authorities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the Inspector General of Police, to as a matter of urgency bring the perpetrator of the crime to book so as to assuage the pain of the family.
“Nigerian Optometric Association will not let this lie low as we shall put measures in place to safeguard our women members.
We are already collaborating with Women Optometrists in Nigeria to provide legal services that will protect our female members whether single or married from ab¥se of any kind.
The welfare of our members is our utmost priority. NOA has set up a committee on Women Affairs to liaise with existing bodies and interphase with gender-based activists to protect our women members from harassment and abuse.
We are closely monitoring the case of Dr. Ezeagu’s murder and shall respond as the need arises. Enough is Enough,” the statement said.
