A Nigerian man based abroad has called for help on behalf of his sister who has constantly been battered by her husband who is a lawyer, for the past 15 years.
Sharing on X (Twitter) he posted that this time, her abusive husband had hit his sister on the head with a pestle in front of one of their daughter.
He also added that her husband started hitting her months after they got married but they resolved the case internally because of their conservative background.
His tweet read;
“In 2009, my sister Annabel Uzu, married Christopher Onyemali, a lawyer based in Asaba. Within a month of their wedding, he started beating her. Over the years, the beatings became more violent with each case resolved internally due to our conservative background. Today, my sister placed a video call on our family’s WhatsApp Group, and she was bleeding profusely and crying. Her husband had hit her head with a pestle in front of their daughter (one of 5 kids) To say that I am livid is putting it mildly. My other other siblings and I are currently outside Nigeria and my parents, who are around, are too old to handle this. Please, Nigerian youths I need your help to bring this man to justice. Please if you have any contact in the Ministry of Woman Affairs that can help or with the Nigerian Police, please help!”
While some Nigerians offered to help, others blamed him and his family for neglecting their sister whom they knew had been abused.
