 TRAGEDY: BENUE WOMAN DIES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN ABUJA

4th May, 2025      

A Facebook user by name Victor Nwogu cried out recently.

It is with deep pain and a heavy heart that I write this.

My beloved elder sister has lost her life — not to sickness, not to an accident — but to the cruel hands of domestic violence.

For a long time, her husband, Mr. James Ogbu (from Benue State), subjected her to relentless bullying, physical and emotional abuse.

She suffered in silence, trying to protect her home and her little children.

But recently, after another episode of violence, she became seriously ill — vomiting and stooling blood.

Instead of helping, James heartlessly abandoned her with the children and ran away.

Left alone without care, it was a kind neighbour who rushed her to the hospital.

By then, she was already too weak to fight for her life.

Despite all efforts, my sister passed away — leaving behind two tender, innocent children who now face a future without their mother’s love.

They lived in Mpape, Abuja — a place where this tragedy unfolded quietly until her death.

Her story must not end in silence.

Domestic violence is a crime. Marriage is never a license to abuse.

We are calling for justice.

James Ogbu must be held accountable for the life he destroyed.

We demand that the authorities take swift action so that my sister’s death will not be in vain.
