Domestic abuse is on the rise in Nigeria and around the world; but the menace seems to be prevalent in recent times in our society.
A lady called Ada Uburu has called off her wedding citing domestic violence from her partner of one year, David. According to her, they were secondary school mates and after he paid her bride price, he started maltreating her.
He beats her at the
slightest provocation.
She noted an instance
when her fiancé almost killed her but for the timely intervention of family and
neighbors.
She took to her
Facebook page: “Monday last week, just because of a little misunderstanding he
beat me mercilessly and rushed into his mother's kitchen for a cutlass.
"When I noticed
he was going for a weapon, I locked the door which he forcefully opened.
"Both his mother
and sisters and some neighbours were begging him not to cut me with the
cutlass.
"With all these
things and more I am fed up.
“I AM CALLING OFF THE
WEDDING AND TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE (IGBA NKWU) BETWEEN ME AND DAVID OKIKE that is
supposed to hold on this Saturday, April 16, 2022.
"Please, my
family and friends, I am so sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused
you.
"Please, respect
my choice. Thanks and God bless you all."
