It was a spectacle in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital Tuesday,
when the sister-in-law of the Bayelsa State Governor, Ms. Tare Konyefa,
and a female lawyer engaged in fisticuffs that left the barrister
bloodied and now lying critically bruised in an unknown hospital in the
city.
The lawyer, Mrs. Bina Oregbeme, who works with the state
Legal Aid Council, was brutalised along with her husband Mr. Ambrose
Oregbeme for daring Konyefa over who owned the right of way at a
roundabout near the Government House, Yenagoa.
It was learnt that the couple incurred the wrath of Konyefa because they questioned her reckless driving.
Konyefa
who lives within the Government House, was said to have been angry at
the audacity of Mrs. Oregbeme for condemning and cautioning her driving
and descended on the lawyer, raining blows and slaps on her, after an
alteration ensued.
An attempt by the husband to come to his wife's rescue was met by heavy beating from the security aides of Konyefa.
