HOW IT HAPPENED: Clear video of the Bianca ‘slap’ emerges (Video)
A video clearly showing what truly happened between the widow of the former Biafra warlord, Chukuemeka Odumegu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu, and the wife of the former governor of Anambra State, Ebele Obiano, at the formal inauguration of Charles Soludo, has emerged.
Soludo formally took over from former Governor Willie Obiano on the 17th March, 2022, having won the gubernatorial seat in the election conducted last year.
The incident between both women almost marred the event but for the intervention of other guests and protocol officers who stepped in.

In the new video clip, Ebele Obiano walked towards where Bianca was sitting and threw what looked like a tantrum, a provocative move leading the latter to get up from her seat and hit the wig off the head of Obiano’s wife.
This was contrary to opinions that Bianca Ojukwu slapped the former governor’s wife, as earlier videos had not been too clear on what transpired.
It would be recalled that the incident disrupted the inauguration event and inspired varied reactions from Nigerians.
