The Angami Women Organisation (AWO) on Friday expressed its appreciation to the Government of Nagaland for suspending IAS officer Reny Wilfred from his official post, describing him as “a man who has shown a disturbing pattern of abusing his position of power to abuse women and children.”
“We commend the government for its prompt response in addressing the gravity of the allegations involved wherein the suspension demonstrates the government’s commitment to accountability and ethical governance,” AWO said in a statement.

AWO said that the action taken is also a reminder that no individual is above the law and those in public services are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and conduct.
AWO also reaffirmed that the “safety of our women and children are our utmost priority and will go to any extent to protect our womenfolk.”
“Therefore, we urge the judiciary to ensure that that legal process is free, fair and transparent without prejudice or delay,” it added.
AWO stated that justice must be served and any wrongdoing must be addressed with appropriate disciplinary and legal measures to uphold public trust and the rule of law.
