A lady on Facebook has called off her wedding a few days to the event after her violent fiancé attacked her with hammer, cutlass and other harmful objects.

Helen Ozioma Michael, with the username Ada Uburu, penned this announcement on her Facebook page today, April 13, 2022, informing her family, friends and the general public on the cancellation of the traditional and ‘white’ wedding ceremonies.

Both ceremonies were slated for Saturday April 16, 2022.

Ms Micheal explained that her fiancé David Okike who had been her secondary school classmate paid her bride price in December 28, 2020, which marked the beginning of her abuse and maltreatment.  

“2021 was hell for me that at some point I left home, after everything we settled around November 2021 which he promised he will never beat me again. But still nothing CHANGED. This is my reason why I am CALLING OFF the Traditional Marriage (Igba Ngwu) and White Wedding ceremony between me and DAVID OKIKE OFF. (Beating me was not part of the agreement in our Marriage),” she explained.

She further explained that the toxicity and abuse that she faced from her fiancé reached a peak as he threatened to kill her.

“My supposed husband is full of RAGE, BEATING me with his Belt, Stick, Broom is his DAILY ROUTINE, Many a times he had lifted his hammer on me and this Monday last week just because of little misunderstanding he beat me mercilessly and on the process of it he rushed into his mother’s kitchen for a cutlass, when I noticed he’s going for a weapon I locked the door behind him which he forcefully opened, both his mother and Sisters and some neighbors were begging him not to cut me with the cutlass … With all these things and more I am fed up,” she narrated.

Nigerians have since gone to her comment section to salute the decision while showing support for her and scorn for her fiancé.
