Justice Mary Abounu has sent her female police orderly, Inspector Jane Agbo, away on allegation that he husband, who is currently the deputy governor of Benue State, Engineer Benson Abounu, is having sexual relations with her.
Report reaching us indicated that already the Nigeria Police Command in the state had redeployed the officer to Otukpo Division.
It was learnt that Justice Abounu had accused Inspector Jane Agbo, who started working with her as an Orderly since when she was a court judge, of sleeping with her husband, the deputy governor.
Report has it that the deputy governor’s wife had severally asked her orderly to confess if the rumour she was receiving that she was sleeping with her husband was true or not.
Inspector Jane Agbo, a single lady, denied the allegation and tried on several occasions to make her madam believe that there was nothing between her and the deputy governor.
t was gathered that, recently, Justice Abounu asked the orderly to wait behind after their schedules for the day and that while she was waiting, Justice Abounu came to her and threatened to assault her openly if she didn’t confess to the lingering rumour that she was sleeping with her husband secretly.
It was during a heated argument between the two that Justice Abounu slapped Inspector Jane Agbo several times, after which, she ordered her out of the deputy governor’s lodge.
It was gathered that Justice Abounu left an instruction that the female Orderly should not be allowed into the lodge again.
As instructed, the security operatives at the deputy governor’s lodge turned the police orderly back when she arrived at the office to resume her duties the following morning.
Inspector Jane Agbo was then forced to return to Benue Command headquarters in Makurdi where she was told of her immediate redeployment to Otukpo Divisional Police Headquarters.
Meanwhile, the embattled Inspector Agbo had confirmed that she had been redeployed as a result of the heated argument and assault she got from the deputy governor’s wife.
She said that it was sad that a woman she had been serving as police orderly since when she was a high Court Judge could be saying all sorts of “rubbish” about her.
Jane wondered why Justice Abounu could be accusing her of dating her husband who she said is not her type of man.
“I wonder why this woman (Justice Abounu) is saying all sorts of rubbish just to tarnish my image. I have never had any sexual relationship with her husband, and again the man is not even my taste if at all I want to date anyone.
“Although I am a single lady but I can take you or anyone to see my boy friend, and when you see him, you will quickly agree with me that the deputy governor is not my taste.”
She said that she had tolerated Justice Abounu’s excesses right from the time she was serving as her orderly at the high Court, adding that her former boss was just telling lies and making false accusations against her over nothing.
“It is a greater sin to maliciously lie against someone than to kill him or her. I have handed madam over to God to do the right judgment. I am glad about my redeployment because, I am tired of working with a devilish and wicked person like her.
“Let her continue her lies against me but I know at the right time, God will vindicate me. To God who made me, I didn’t have any secret affair with her husband, the deputy governor.” [myad]
