Victoria Okoro, the wife of Francis Obila, the son of Ebonyi State's Deputy Governor, has publicly demanded the return of her access to her two young children after being separated from them for eight weeks. The mother, in a statement on Facebook on Monday, August 17, 2026, expressed her frustration at the prolonged separation, particularly as her children were only three months and one year and six months old at the time.
Okoro stated that she had remained silent since June 21, hoping to resolve the matter privately and peacefully, but the situation had become unbearable for her as a mother. She pleaded with her husband, Francis Obila, and his mother, Patricia Onyemaechi Obila, to reach a peaceful resolution and grant her access to and custody of her children.
Okoro emphasized that her decision to speak out was not motivated by revenge or bitterness, but rather a deep concern for her children's welfare.
