HER STORY
"On the 5th of May I was passing through a compound with my
son, a man called Andy Obada stop me and my son and ask me not to pass
through that compound again and I ask him why, because other people do
pass same compound and he did not stop them. I then told him that he
should not worry that I won't pass through that place again...
To God who made me I did not pass through that place again...Later on the 20th of may at about 9pm I was coming from my mum place with my Son and my friend Ruth.
It was late and we were rushing home. Getting in front of
Andy Obada's Compound, (His a Tenant) that compound is a short-cut to my
house. I didn't pass through the compound but I saw people passing
there.
In front of the compound, he was sitting down with a friend smoking. This was past 9:00pm. I asked him if this is not people passing through the compound why is my own different?
He immediately stood up got angry and walked towards me
throw away the cigarette he was smoking and told me that he has warned
me not to pass through the compound. (Andy is just a tenant in this
compound)
I then replied him that people do pass here, what have I done to warrant all these embarrassment.
He slapped me and started beating me in presence of my son
and friend. I fell on the floor and he beat me and his friend that was
with him was now telling me I shouldn't have asked him that question and
that I deserve the beating I was given.
I couldn't see clearly and I immediately hold him and
started calling out for help and his friend joined him and they both
beat me. By this time I was bleeding heavily. My friend took me and my
son home.
The next morning I reported the case to Divisional Police
Station Ughelli and they gave me a report to go and treat myself and
that they will arrest Andy Obada.
I was admitted in hospital and the Doctor told me I have
lost my three months Pregnancy. He also wrote the report which I
submitted to the Police.
After I was discharged from hospital, the police make effort to arrest Andy Obada , but he was no where to be found.
24th May, I went to the police station again and met Andy
Obada there writing a statement. The Police told me that me and my
brothers destroyed his properties and injured him. The only thing that
was destroy was his AC that he push me to which i fell on it.
The police are now changing the case that it is two
fighting and Breach of Peace that I was not supposed to ask him that
question why I shouldn't pass through the compound.
I was detained for hours and later released on bail after
paying #3000 all because the man who beat me has money and I don't have
anything or anyone to stand for me"
That's Gloria story.
