This morning we are coming to you with the story of a 19-year-old Akwa Ibom girl who is currently in a bad state after she was brutalized by her alleged boyfriend in Warri, Delta State.
It was gathered that the suspect met the victim on the internet and invited her to Warri. Ever since then he turned her into a punching bag.
“He has been locking her indoor and beating her continuously without his neighbors knowing,” a source narrated.
“Thank God for the intervention of his elder brother who heard her crying at night and broke down the door only to discover her like this. She has been taken to the nearest hospital for treatment.” the source added.
Human rights activist confirmed the incident on Wednesday.
There is no justification for such action against anyone and the law would take its course even if the said suspect is on the run,” he wrote.
This occurs regularly in the society even to some girl child who lives in fear and threatened NEVER to speak out.
What do you think could be the cause of this silence?
Do you think it is fear or inferiority?
Why do you think some victims still return back to the boyfriend/husband even after such beating and humiliation?
Let’s quickly here you take on this.

Because members of society will react as a unit; they will distance themselves from her, treat her like the plague and leave her without any support, comfort or hope. She will be ostracised and the whole world will be against her. She will be in constant fear because society will tell her she has no right to her own peace of mind and definitely not to justice. The toxic masculinity causes everyone to be infected with a most primitive attitude of condemnation without consideration for human fallibility, mistakes or lessons. This is d koko of the lack of ‘maintenance culture’ but most basically, it is a patriarchal, misogynistic, corrupt and inequitable environment.
