Ikpeazu disclosed this at the ‘End GBV summit’ with the theme, ‘Strengthening evidence and referral pathways for gender-based violence project in Abia State’, driven by the Abia First Lady, Nkechi Ikpeazu.
Ikpeazu, who was represented by the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Uche Ihediwa, said in no distant time, these courts would be created “as soon as the courts resume,” adding that some Magistrate Courts would be designated to handle GBV matters. He, however, noted with disgust that “the first challenge is ‘us’”, stating that all were involved in a prosecution, “but the victim will come out to say she is not continuing with the case.”
“If we must deal with GBV once it occurs, we will pursue it to the end or it will continue,” he said, adding that all had roles to play. He stated government’s resolve not to allow the programme to die, as the state “will hold any incoming first lady accountable.”
