Ivie Edobor, a Mother of three, took to her Facebook wall to accuse her
husband, John Edobor, of attacking her after they went they separated
ways following their failed marriage. She wrote
Dear friend, To shed more light on my ordeal, this is my story. Two
years ago my husband kick me out of his house along with my 3 daughters
ages 9, 7 and 4. I was forced to move back to my father's house and
struggled to provide for my 3 children as he completely neglected them
and even took them of his medical insurance provided by his office
Zenith Bank Plc.
After much struggle, I finally got back on my feet. Got a great job,
enrolled my kids in a new school and rented an apartment for my 3 kids
and I. About Easter time this year he decides he was to be part of my
children's life again. I allowed him access to the children as I felt we
could be civil to each other for the sake of our children. At this time
I had started putting my documentation together for the divorce
process.
Early hours of June 19th on my way back from a function, a friend had
parked right in front of the gate of my apartment to press the bell for
the gateman to open the gate and let me into the compound when suddenly
he was rushed at and attacked by a man waving an object. The first
impression was that it was an armed robber trying to rob us. My friend(a
man) pushed he away but he came charging back; at this point I looked
out the opened door and realized it was John Edobor my enstrange
husband. Before we could react a group of area boys showed up but rather
than saving us from the assailant, they joined him. The proceeded to be
my friend on the floor giving John the opportunity to focus his attack
on me. He used a metal bar(wheel spanner/ metal rod) to try hitting me
on the head through the opened drivers door but I shielded it. Not
satisfied with that, he turned to the passengers door dragged out to the
floor. I landed on the floor with my legs extended where he proceeded
to hit me on the leg continuously with the metal. When he was satisfied
he was about going back to join the area boys who had gathered my friend
when my neighbour who had heard my screams for help and seen from his
window a man striking someone on the floor thinking it was an armed
robber, numbed down his balcony with a machete to save whoever was being
attacked. On getting down he was faced with my enstrange husband whom
he had prevented from entering my compound without my permission on 2
occasions so he recognised him. It was at that point he overpowered
John. The area boys recognised him as a member of the security team for
the street and backed off my friend. By that time I couldn't stand up
and my leg was bleeding profusely. I was rushed to the hospital where my
jeans was torn off my leg to see the nature of my injury. The injury
was so severe that my broken bone torn through my skin puncturing an
artery in the process.
Almost 3months and 2 surgeries later, I have titanium plates and screws
to keep my leg in place and I am unable to use my right leg. I still
have my 3 children to care for and my life is at a stand still. The
perpetuator was charged to court and released on bail 3 days later. Now
he moves around freely carrying on with his life. Now is it wrong for me
to cry for Justice.
