Mercy After treatment/therapy
|
In April this year , Mrs Mercy Nnadi woke up screaming,the
room was enveloped with the smell of burning flesh...hers!
Her husband of a few years was roasting her alive with a
pressing iron and also simultaneously stabbing her with a screw driver .He had
already killed their one-year-old son before descending on her.
VIEWER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED
On Wednesday, November 14,2012 , Mercy went live on Metro
Fm,on the Ogbonge Show with Cordelia Okpei to tell her story and thank God for
saving her.
'She talked about the event. How before then ,they had
always been regulars at the police station. Even a week before that she had
gone to the station to tell them to ask the husband to give her money to go
back home because she didn't want the marriage again -she feared her life was
in danger-
She went on to say it was a lie that she had the late child
with her father-in-law which her husband had accused her of.
Her jailed husband claimed to hear voices -same that told
him to kill the son.
On the day of the incident, she fell asleep around 3am
whilst the hubby was ironing some clothes,he's a laundry man, only to wake up
to him using screw driver to tear her flesh and roast it with hot iron at the
same time.
Mercy who has been going through therapy only got to know
last week that her child did not survive the brutal attack of the man who is
supposed to be his father.
Three NGO's really worked to help her. They include,Project
Alert, Zahara (based in Canada) and COD.
The Lagos state deputy gov helped a lot. The state paid over
800k of the over a Million Naira bill. The Akwa-Ibom first lady also donated
something to help.
She has been rehabilitated and hopes to go into selling of
food items.
The left over money from her hospital bill has been used to
rent her an apartment and furnished for her to start a new life.'
Mercy ended her interview by calling on the Nigerian Police
to stop making a caricature of women who run to them with domestic abuse cases.
If they had listened to her what happened would have been avoided.
Poor woman . I thank God for her speedy recovery and life.
