Dear friend, To shed more light on my ordeal, this is my story. Two years ago my husband kick me out of his house along with my 3 daughters ages 9, 7 and 4.
I was forced to move back to my father’s house and struggled to provide for my 3 children as he completely neglected them and even took them of his medical insurance provided by his office Zenith Bank Plc.
After much struggle, I finally got back on my feet. Got a great job, enrolled my kids in a new school and rented an apartment for my 3 kids and I.
About Easter time this year he decides he was to be part of my children’s life again. I allowed him access to the children as I felt we could be civil to each other for the sake of our children. At this time I had started putting my documentation together for the divorce process.
Early hours of June 19th on my way back from a function, a friend had parked right in front of the gate of my apartment to press the bell for the gateman to open the gate and let me into the compound when suddenly he was rushed at and attacked by a man waving an object.
The first impression was that it was an armed robber trying to rob us. My friend(a man) pushed he away but he came charging back; at this point I looked out the opened door and realized it was John Edobor my enstrange husband. Before we could react a group of area boys showed up but rather than saving us from the assailant, they joined him.
The proceeded to be my friend on the floor giving John the opportunity to focus his attack on me. He used a metal bar(wheel spanner/ metal rod) to try hitting me on the head through the opened drivers door but I shielded it. Not satisfied with that, he turned to the passengers door dragged out to the floor. I landed on the floor with my legs extended where he proceeded to hit me on the leg continuously with the metal.
When he was satisfied he was about going back to join the area boys who had gathered my friend when my neighbour who had heard my screams for help and seen from his window a man striking someone on the floor thinking it was an armed robber, numbed down his balcony with a machete to save whoever was being attacked.
On getting down he was faced with my enstrange husband whom he had prevented from entering my compound without my permission on 2 occasions so he recognised him.
It was at that point he overpowered John. The area boys recognised him as a member of the security team for the street and backed off my friend.
By that time I couldn’t stand up and my leg was bleeding profusely. I was rushed to the hospital where my jeans was torn off my leg to see the nature of my injury. The injury was so severe that my broken bone torn through my skin puncturing an artery in the process.
Almost 3months and 2 surgeries later, I have titanium plates and screws to keep my leg in place and I am unable to use my right leg. I still have my 3 children to care for and my life is at a stand still. The perpetuator was charged to court and released on bail 3 days later. Now he moves around freely carrying on with his life. Now is it wrong for me to cry for Justice.
That’s Madness

Please tell us your own side of the story before getting to beating level

Madam, you weren’t officially divorced n you were keeping male friend from your story. Am not saying what he did is good but we have to be mindful of our actions so we don’t arouse anger/fight. As for the man, let him face the law. Why beat a woman whose responsibility he is not taking? The man should face the law n after which he be counselled.
She can keep any gender of friend as Long as she was separated from him. She is not living under his roof.
who owns the children?….i’m not in support of the man though!
He has a male friend doesn’t mean they were doing anything negative
Shut ur dirty mouth , a woman like u, that’s all u could say, even If she is seen another man nko
Tabitha Onuoha, re u married? Why speak like that?
So because she is married, you are saying she can’t keep a male friend anofia
I am married with kids madam , any day any time any where I will defend a fellow woman like me …….
only God knows what she want through, from his action .
This is the 21st century for goodness sake. If you’re separated from someone you can have a relationship with someone else. Some divorces can take years to be settled. So you want to to be single. Plus she was living in her husband’s house. This young man was coming to her own house that she was paying rent for.
Whatcha talking about
God no the best
Yabaleft in-laws
That man for no reason treat you like an house hell ,just like that even when he left you with three kids …suffering and taking care of three children, I wish I could see that, be heal the God that heal the blind, deaf,and dumb will heal you ,,no matter how worst the situation is, I believed you will walk with that leg

D ugly side of man
Hmm nawa oo men….
I don’t even want to know his side of the story. This is an act of violence. You don’t go to someone’s house and beat them up like that period. Her male friend wasn’t coming to her matrimonial home. She had rented her own place with her own money. Plus if you’re separated from someone, you’re free to do whatever it is that you like. It’s the 21st century y’all. So all of you talking bout technically she’s still married so she shouldn’t have a male friend, you need to have several seats and educate yourself SMH
