Ademinokan and Stella’s beautiful daughters |
In the early hours of May 31, about 12 heavily armed men stormed the
Abuja home of Ademinokan, where Stella Damasus and her two daughters were
said to have been living before they relocated to the United States with
Ademinokan.
According to The Nation, Ademinokan’s younger brother, who just
returned to Nigeria, and his mother were the only persons in the house
on the fateful day.
It was gathered that the attackers insisted on getting Stella’s
recent contact in the US, including her address and phone number,
without success.
The source said: “The men kept yelling at Daniel’s brother. They were
saying, ‘Your brother and his wife think they can just open their
mouths and say anything they like about the government, abi?’”
The assailant, according to the source, didn’t take anything item
away from the house because of the pathetic condition of Ademinokan’s
mother, who is laid up with a stroke.
Stella is known for actively speaking against domestic violence as well as her advocacy
for sanity during the ‘Child Not Bride’ campaign.
It would be recalled that, at the height of the campaign, she released
a very daring video on YouTube, calling a particular serving Senator
and his supporters paedophiles.
A few weeks ago, after the abduction of over 200 girls from Chibok,
Stella released another video addressing the government and accusing it
of not asking for help from foreign allies.
She is not bothered with the threats though, a few days ago she tweeted “No form of political bullying or intimidation will work!
You can’t shut me up! I will stand and speak the truth, regardless of
your tactics. ”
As if that was not enough, she followed up with another tweet: “That is
what Nigeria is known for; you say the truth…they try to silence you! It
will not work on Stella Damasus. I cannot be intimidated.”
