The couple
“I have suffered in silence my husband would beat me like a common criminal, abused, naked me in public at a time I lost my memory.
“I tried to avoid doing this because of how I was raised and because of my boys, but I have been pushed and it is time for the world to hear my voice and my side of the story.
“I left my marriage on the 15th of April 2022 because my life was almost taken away from me I was that woman who stood and was ready to build a beautiful family with Mr Obarijima Yorgba.
Battered wife
“I had a beautiful dream planned out, but the more I tried, the more my life was put on the line for years.
“I suffered in silence, I was beaten like a common criminal, Abused in public. A lot of people had seen my nakedness in some cases when Obarijima will beat me because he will destroy my clothes.
“I have lost my memory before but God restored it; I have scars on my body today because of Obarijima.
“I was depressed and almost gave up, but God saved me.
“I was still married to Mr Obarijima but he spoils my name to friends, family members, co-workers and church members; the ones that believed him did and pushed me away and did more harm to my situation.
“A lot happened to me, then I decided to take that bold step not minding what the world will say, because I have every reason to stay alive, if not for anything, but for my boys so, I left the marriage to stay alive but my life is being threatened by this vampire till now and my business is also being threatened; he said he will kill me and destroy my business and bring me down.
“I want the world to be on the know that I am not scared of Obarijima Yorgba because he’s not my God and if he tries to hurt me or my boys again, my God will kill him for every pain he made me go through in his house.
