The women visited Archbishop Obinna at the Maria Assumpta Catholic Cathedral, Owerri, where they complained that they were being raped by their own sons on daily basis.
"We are raped and molested by our own children. You cannot come to Mgbuishii and return home safely because of the crime," the women told Archbishop Obinna.
They further said that they had complained to both the state government and other law enforcement agents but regretted that they were yet to find solutions to the atrocities committed by their children.
They said: "We are angry because government is not looking at our direction at all. We have been completely abandoned for years.
Now, we have no good roads, no electricity, no market and nothing is going on in our place. To make things worse, we are now suffering from insecurity."
Continuing, the aggrieved women also revealed that their sons take over the roads leading to their community on each of their market days and rob people, adding that this explained why people had stopped coming to buy farm produce from their market.
"Also, each time we report cases to the police and they manage to send their men at all, the criminals beat them (policemen) up because they (criminals) parade more sophisticated weapons than what the policemen have. We needed police escort to get here (Maria Assumpta Cathedral) and we will also need them to go back home," the women said.
"Even the Reverend Father in our place is complaining and threatening to go away. About two weeks ago, some reverend sisters visited our place and were waylaid on the road and robbed. We have a lot of problems and that is why the women have come to complain to the Archbishop, who is our father in the Lord", the women added.
Responding, Obinna commi-serated with the women over their plight and pleaded with them not to take laws into their hands.
While stressing the need for proper upbringing of children by parents in the fear of the Lord, the cleric, however, recalled some bizarre things that are now happening in the society. He prayed and blessed the women for being courageous enough to bring the sordid happenings to limelight.

"We are going to find Yakubu, perhaps we can get some milk from the masters' kitchen," Tanko said. He was the son of the strongest wrestler in Dogongari. His father was tall and hefty and threw any contester to the ground. Tanko's father was well respected for his strength and the man was a very gentle and humble man but Tanko was the opposite of his father. He was weak, troublesome and very mischievous. Had he not had a striking facial resemblance with his father, as well as his height, his paternity would have been in doubt. Bawa was the son of the village tobacco merchant. His father was short and fat and very tricky. He had a reputation for cheating people. He was also a money lender who demanded very high interest. Bawa was a replica of his father in every way, in appearance and character except that Bawa was more considerate. He could take pity on others itcr hoodwinking them. Garba did not like him much "Really?" Sule asked. "I hope it will be all right if I go with you." "You don't have to," Bawa said. "You know if he takes more than expected, the master would know he took his milk." "It's not bad if we shared whatever Yakubu gives us with our fellows," Tanko said. "Garba can even get from it," Sule said. Bawa made a face. "Look at you, Sule, you have......
