‘’ HOW DOES ANYONE SLEEP PEACEFULLY AT NIGHT, KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE ABDUCTED YOUNG CHILDREN FROM THEIR MOTHER

 

Blessing is a member of Hadassah Support Group. The Foundation has helped her and her children financially a couple of times after she left her abusive husband over a year ago (the husband who became late about a month ago due to a terminal illness).

 

Whilst been separated, she had been solely responsible for the three children without help from her late husband or his family members.

 

Upon the death of her late husband about a month ago, his family members have accused Blessing of his death and has requested that she comes to their village with the children to swear and oath and undergo some of the harmful widows rites.

She however refused to honor the invitation of going to the village because she doesn’t have a hand in his death. Instead he died as a result of a terminal illness which he had been battling with even before Blessing left the abusive marriage.

Three days ago, her late husband’s elder sister came to her Blessing’s parents house in Abuja and abducted the three children.

Up till now, Blessing is not aware of their location. She also doesn’t know the present location of any of her late husband’s family members except his mother who is in the village (the same village she has been requested to come to undergo the harmful widow’s rite).

 

We are calling on the Kogi State Government, NGO’s, Federal Agencies, Human Right Activists and well-meaning Nigerians to please help Blessing get her children back’’
