Friends of a teenager
living in Ibadan have called for help on behalf of their friend while accusing
the teenager’s family of subjecting her to humiliation and abuse.
According to one of the
friends, the woman, aged 18, “has been maltreated at home for a while.”
The friend alleged that the
young woman’s mother stripped her naked two weeks ago and beat her outside
because she came home late. The friend added that members of the young woman’s
family have been doing mean things to her, including her cousin, brother,
uncle, and parents.
She recently ran away from
home and went to stay with a friend and her family begged her to return home.
However, when she returned
home, they allegedly hit her, took her phone from her, and locked her up in a
room. The friend also shared screenshots of messages the alleged victim sent to
her complaining about the recent domestic abuse from her family.
She claimed her uncle
returned home and hit her. He also allegedly hit her head on the wall several
times and injured her. Her brother also allegedly threatened to deal with her
when he comes home.
The friend shared photos of
her friend’s injury and asked people to tag anyone who can help the abused
woman.
Twitter users have begun
tagging NGOs that handle domestic violence cases.
