A Nigerian married woman identified as Ifeoma Blossom Obiora has got many people worried about her well-being after leaving disturbing posts on her Facebook wall.
The woman shared two posts on her Facebook page which many described as suicidal notes. In one of the posts, she wrote;
‘Nobody listened. Nobody cared. 😭.’
In another post, Ifeoma wrote;
“In these moments before my departure, I feel more clarity than I have ever felt in my dull life. In one minute, I will be free from the voices, from the pain, and from you.”
A women-based non-profit organization, WomenAids Collective WACOL, who reached out to her, claim Ifeoma was married off at 15 and has been subjected to emotional and physical abuse from her husband, Onyebuchi Obiora, for many years.
The group said in a series of tweets.
“Nobody listened. Nobody cared” A cry for help from Ifeoma Blossom Joy Obiora, a 27-year-old mother who put out this and other statements that appeared to be a suicide note via her Facebook page to draw attention to her plight at the hand of the husband Onyebuchi Obiorah, a Motor parts dealer at Nnewi.
Both parties hail from Nnewi. She is in danger, currently locked in with her abuser. We tried to reach out to people to check on her following her Facebook post. We have been working our phones and when we thought help had come and four policemen sent on rescue to her.
The worst happened, that despite her plea the police officers started blaming her for crying out for help after narrating her ordeal and the physical and mental torture. The husband assaulted her right while police officers were trying to gain entrance.
He was visibly angry and questioned her on why she invited the police. The police officers only succeeded in blaming the victim for going public and leaving her with the suspect to her fate this night.
