Drinking of Dead Husbands’ Bath Water outlawed in Akwa Ibom

Widows will no longer drink bath water of their dead husbands in Akwa Ibom
Chief Godswill Akpabio has signed into law a bill that outlaws the custom that subjects women to inhumane treatment after the death of their husbands.
It is now unlawful to maltreat widows in Akwa Ibom. The governor said defaulters risk hefty fines and could face imprisonment of up to three years.
