Woman who divorced husband upon arrival in UK narrates domestic abuse experience

“I have taken and endured a lot of physical, emotional, psychological, and mental abuse from Henry Osah. My ordeal started in early October 2016 when I was 8 months pregnant with our son (our second child).

Henry wanted to travel to Ekiti for his friend’s wedding, who’s new wife was from Ekiti, but we were managing and struggling financially. I felt every kobo we could feed with would be of great help considering we had a daughter 1 year 7 months at the time, and we were expecting a baby soon, a.

I was in final year student, I asked that we saved the money he would use for traveling to a wedding as we didn’t even have money to feed well at home, this led to an argument that escalated really quickly.

The next thing he beat me up at 8 months pregnant, with his knee on my tummy. This was the first time, so he begged and pleaded with me, I forgave him and I told no soul about it.

I didn’t feel my baby move for 3 days after the beating and I was scared, I felt the worst had happened to my baby and I cried for 3 days that my baby had died. I took myself to the hospital to do a scan, found out my baby was alive with a faint heartbeat due to the trauma, I kept bleeding and stayed in silence with it because he begged me to keep it silent. I was dying slowly.”

Friends corroborated the story, accusing the husband of domestic abuse
