Benue Deputy Gov’s wife allegedly slaps,bans police orderly over alleged affair with her husband

Justice Mary Abounu, wife of the Benue State deputy governor, Engineer Benson Abounu, reportedly slapped her police orderly, Inspector Jane Agbo, over an accusation that she was having a secret sexual relationship with her husband.

According to the Nigerian Concord, the assault took place at the deputy governor’s lodge, Makurdi.


The newspaper reported that, the incident has made the Nigeria Police Command in the state to redeploy the officer back to Otukpo Division.

Mrs Abounu had accused her police orderly, Inspector Jane Agbo, who started working with her as an Orderly since when she was a court judge, of sleeping with the deputy governor.

Report has it that the Benue second lady had at several times confronted her police orderly, asking her to confess if the rumour she was receiving that she was sleeping with her husband was true or not.


Inspector Jane Agbo, a single lady, has denied the allegation and tried on several occasions to make her madam believe that there was nothing between her and the deputy governor.

The straw that finally broke the camel’s back happened recently when, the deputy governor’s wife couldn’t hold her peace.

It was gathered that, on that fateful day, Mrs Abounu allegedly asked the orderly to wait behind after their schedules for the day.


While Inspector Agbo was waiting, Mrs Abounu came to her and threatened to assault her openly if she didn’t confess to the lingering rumour that she was sleeping with her husband secretly.

It was during a heated argument between the two, that Mrs Abounu slapped Inspector Jane Agbo several times, after which, she ordered her out of the deputy governor’s lodge.

It was gathered that, Mrs Abounu left a serious instruction that the female Orderly shouldn’t be allowed into the lodge again.

As instructed, the security operatives at the deputy governor’s lodge turned the police orderly back when she came to resume her duties the following morning.

On hearing that, Inspector Jane Agbo returned to Benue Command headquarters in Makurdi, where she was told of her immediate redeployment to Otukpo Divisional Police Headquarters.

When contacted on Sunday, through telephone, Inspector Agbo confirmed her redeployment as a result of the heated argument and assault she got from the deputy governor’s wife, two weeks ago.
