A Nigerian woman, Adejumorekeh Balogun has called on Nigerians and relevant authorities for help after allegedly losing her left eye in alleged domestic violence.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, November 16, 2024, the woman shared photos showing her battered face and swollen left eye, alleging that she has been in an abusive relationship with her husband, who she described as a beast, for 15 years.
“This is what fifteen years in an abusive relationship with a beast has cost me. My left eye…. Please I need help from the masses. Justice must be served, he knows I don’t have anybody that’s why he’s been treating me this bad. Direct line to call for more info 08167340977, you can WhatsApp too on the same line,” she wrote.
In another post on Sunday, November 17, she alleged that her husband and his family were threatening her over the previous post.
The entrepreneur added that she is currently in an undisclosed hospital.
“Pls share till it gets the right authorities that will help me. I‘m helpless. His family and him are threatening me. I’ve been hospitalized and they don’t know where I am.”
She also shared photos of the abuse she suffered from her husband in December 2022, alleging that he did the same to his ex-wives.
“This is Dec 4, 2022. This man has been a beast since we’ve been together his friends can testify, my family and friends can testify even his ex-wives can be witnesses because he does it to them too. His family are telling my family that it has only happened once before. They’re threatening me to bring down the posts I’ve made on social media. I’m dropping this update to let you know that I haven’t gotten a particular authority to handle the matter, I’m counting on you all, he already told me I don’t have a solid background and no one will come to my rescue. Now I’m counting on GOD I must not suffer in vain, my one eye is already blind, I deserve justice.”
