Abusive husband in Lagos forces son to spit on mother, beats her up in shocking domestic violence story
I just read this tragic story on Facebook, guys. Lord have mercy!!!!
FELLOW DPA MEMBERS: WE HAVE A WAR AGAINST INJUSTICE TO FIGHT IN THE FOLLOWING CASE:
Fellow advocates, I am very very angry right now. I don't normally get angry. But I am very angry this very minute. This evening, a woman sent me an inbox and asked if she could share her problems with me. I replied that she could. Behold, the lady sent me the following complaint about what happened to her:
_________________
My name is _______________, i am 28 years old, i reside @ Lagos. I got married to an abusive man.
Sir, i will start from the case at hand, my husband came home on Friday 22nd of this month, round 10:15pm, I gave him his food which he ate and asked my boy of 2years and 7month to take plates to the kitchen which he did.
Then he asked my boy to call me to come and take the same plates in the kitchen again, and i told him that he should leave it there till tomorrow that am tired, but he refused and
started shouting on me to go and carry the water which he used in washing his hands and the plates in the kitchen. So i now told him to stop stop shouting on me as if am his slave or house girl, then he ordered my boy to beat me.
My boy refused, but he forced him to beat me and my boy beat me, so i was very angry. I beat my boy in return and i was like, why did your father ask you to beat me and you did? Do you want to learn how to beat woman like your father? Even me your own mum?
And my boy said, mum am sorry! Biko (please)am sorry mum. So, becouse i beat my boy back, my husband started beating me! I was defending myself with the little strength i had, till i have no power again.
He beat me in front of my kids, even their cry did not make him to stop, so when he finished beating me, he forced my boy to call me a witch and spit on me! Which my innocent boy did!!
My son called me a witch, spit on me and my husband was happy, telling him to continue, telling too that i am a devil in the house, that i should park my things and go.
Dear Sir, i want to walk away with my kids, i have no feelings for him anymore, Before this case Sir, i had lost all the love and feelings i had for him the day he beat me with my four months pregnancy. He laid curses on me, telling me that i will die the day that i will give birth!
I ran to the hospital that night so that he will not kill me. I wanted to leave but i have no one to run to, i have no mother, my father don't care about me._________________
NOTE: Can anybody tell me why this man should not be arrested tomorrow? Can anybody tell me why I should not advise this woman to get a divorce? Can anybody tell me why I should not use very resource at my dispose to make this man pay for this kind of cruelty? Cruelty to the woman and her children.
NOTE 2: And for those who are crazy enough to think that a man can't have sex with his wife without her consent, can you imagine that this man may want to have sex with this same woman tonight after all this?
