The feud between Benue State Correspondent of Channels Television, Mr Pius Angbo and his wife, Doctor Ifeyinwa Angbo that went viral on social media at the weekend has been resolved by Governor Samuel Ortom.
The Governor who met with the couple Monday morning in his Makurdi residence admonished them to always settle their differences amicably and shun the temptation of engaging in violence and by so doing bring each other to disrepute.
The Governor advised that as a young couple with great potentials, the husband being a versatile journalist and the wife a medical doctor, there was the need for them to foster a strong union to serve as a model for others to emulate.
Angbo in a reaction said he had apologised to his wife over the assault on her, stressing that he also sought the forgiveness of the entire women folks assuring that he would make amends going forward.
His wife, on her part, said she had accepted her husband’s apology and forgiven him, saying their children were still tender and they needed prayers to grow stronger in love and be able to nurture their kids to maturity.
She appreciated Governor Ortom for taking time out of his very tight schedule to make peace between them, saying the Governor’s intervention was fatherly and a demonstration of his love for her family.
It would be recalled that our Correspondent had in a video at the weekend seen the woman narrated how she has been married to Mr Angbo for six years but has never enjoyed her home.
She claimed that Mr Angbo, a journalist and the correspondent of Channels Television in Imo State, often assaulted her over ‘petty’ arguments at home.
She said the latest assault was a result of her advice to her husband to cease spending lavishly on ladies and cater for his four children.
Our Correspondent also heard a voice from one of her child from the background saying, “Mummy sorry” while watching the mother in pain
Meanwhile the management of Channels Television has said the company will look into the allegation and carry out necessary disciplinary action.
“Channels Television does not condone violence against women or anyone in general. The domestic violence matter reported against one of our reporters is being investigated and appropriate action will be taken.”
