The women drawn from all walks of life flagged off the protest from the August 27th Stadium Damaturu, to the State Ministry for Justice and terminated the protest at the premises of Yobe State House of Assembly.
During the protest, the women were seen carrying placards containing different messages such as: “#JUSTICE FOR AMMI”, “PERPETRATORS MUST BE EXPOSED AND JUSTICE BE SERVED” as well as “NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS” among other messages.
Led by the State Commissioner of Humanitarian Affairs, Hajia Mairo Ahmed Amshi, the protesting women were received by the Deputy Speaker of the House, Ya’u Usman Dachia.
Amshi told the Deputy Speaker and other members of the House that the essence of staging the protest was to show their grievances over the unjust killing of Ammi and appeal to the lawmakers to ensure justice is done on the matter.
We are here to show our grievances. You must have heard what happened and I am sure as fathers and husbands, it is so disheartening for somebody to take the life of a human being.
“We are here seeking justice. We know that this House is serious in considering issues that affect the lives of the people of Yobe State. From the passing of the bill on Gender-Based Violence, (GBV) that was passed by His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni, we know the type of House of Assembly we have”, she said.
Ammi Adamu Mamman was allegedly killed by her 43-year-old husband who is now in police custody.
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has also vowed that anyone involved in the death of Ammi Adamu Mamman will be brought to justice.
I wish the same could be done to him.
ReplyDeleteOh Chim! I pray she gets justice.
ReplyDeleteSo sad,I pray she gets justice,rest in peace,Ammi 🙏🏻🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder at the kind of right some men think they have over the females they have a relationship with just because they are men.
ReplyDeleteNa wah😡
It's evil entitlement
DeleteBringing up boys to see women as objects not human beings
And even the dirtiest of vagrants, lowest of character and those low calibre men can say they have a wife, for some, multiple wives. The society has conditioned men who have no business being around a woman to feel they are deserving of a woman. And in many instances the family members know the men are complete and utter trash and sit by quietly and watch them destroy the lives of an innocent woman and children because they believe it’s his right to have a family. How can a wicked person deserve a family is beyond me. The wicked deserve no earthly joy.
DeleteImagine being killed while sleeping. She didn’t even get the chance to fight for her life. I applaud the protest.

ReplyDeleteEvil man .....I pray she gets justice and may she rest in peace
ReplyDeleteOne moment of anger...one moment of madness and all is lost! If it's not working out anymore,there is no point forcing it. May her gentle soul rest in peace and may justice be served on the perpetrator. The one who should have protected her is the one who took her life. Sad.
