Drama ensued on Thursday at the inauguration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo as the governor of Anambra State when wife of outgoing Governor Willie Obiano, Ebelechukwu, challenged and taunted Mrs Bianca Ojukwu at the event.
The incident occurred immediately after Soludo took his oath of office.
Dignitaries including Obiano were already seated when Mrs Obiano stepped in and moved to the front row where the widow of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu was seated and allegedly slapped her.
One of the witnesses said Ebelechukwu taunted Bianca and the late Ojukwu’s wife slapped her.
The action drew the attention of security agents and some personalities who pulled Mrs Obiano off the hold of Bianca.
Mrs Obiano was later taken away and shortly afterwards, her husband left the venue since the incident happened after the new governor had been sworn in.
