A female journalist, Amaka Owoh, a
reporter with the Nigerian Television Authority, Enugu, has recently assaulted
by one woman named Mrs.Clara Eleje, who claimed to be the Sole proprietress of
Holy Family maternity at Ugwuodowu , Trans- Ekulu, while she was on official
duty at the Nnamdi Azikiwe National stadium.
According to the eyes witnesses, the victim just finished an interview at an
official assignment when Mrs. Elendu pounced on her and dragged her cloth
accusing her of collecting the sum of N150,000 , in a case of baby factory
which the woman was alleged to be involved in.
When contacted, Mrs. Eleje has this
to say about the issue. “She collected N150,000 with her colleague. I have a
case with civil defence involving my clinic. After the interview, she collected
the money. She told me she will not air it only for her to air it two days
after. She said if she airs it, people will run away from my clinic. Even if
she will air it, she is supposed to call me or call my sister who works with
ESBS. My anger with her is that she said she would not air it but later did
otherwise.”
“If I see somebody going on the
street, I will just go and attack that person, am I mad? She is like a daughter
to me. Once she comes and apologise, I will forget about the whole thing.”
However, Owoh has insisted that journalists from other media houses were there when she was assaulted and that she did not in any way collect any form of gratification from Mrs. Eleje. She added that one Blessing Nwangwu Akuabata who is Eleje’s friend and allegedly threatened to deal with her, instigated the whole process.
