A Grade Level 12 officer of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Mr. Nnachi Okafor, has allegedly assaulted a female staff of the Administration over disagreement relating to union matters.
The victim, Mrs. Josie Mudasiru, who is a level 14 officer, was reportedly slapped twice and manhandled by Okafor over a minor union disagreement between the duo.
Okafor, was said to have rained verbal abuses on his victim, who is claimed is a prostitute and sleeps with men, within the office and in brothels to curry favour.
Our correspondent gathered that trouble started when the victim escorted another staff to seek clarifications on some issues bordering on staff welfare from Okafor, who is the Chairman, Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCTA Chapel.
Narrating her ordeal, Mrs Mudasiru said she was not only assaulted but dehumanized and abused by Okafor, who has been adjudged as a misogynist by many.
According to her, “I took a colleague to see Mr. Nnachi Okafor, who is the Chairman of FCTA Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) to seek certain clarifications on some welfare issues.
“I was not part of their discussion until Nnachi raised his voice to a high pitch to demonstrate his anger on the issue.
I only cautioned Nnachi to bring down his voice because of the office environment.
“To my greatest shock, Nnachi suddenly turned his uncontrollable anger on me and called me a prostitute, who sleeps with men in different offices to curry favour.
” Speaking further she said: “Before I knew it, Nnachi descended on me and accompanied it with two slaps on both chicks.
It took the efforts of my colleagues and other men to rescue me from his hands.
” The victim also told our correspondent that the matter has been reported to the FCT Police Outpost, adding that: “the matter may end up in court since some women NonGovernmental Organisations have been contacted to take up the matter because my life is under threat.
