After the tragic death of Ronke Shonde, Channels TV interviewed
a victim of domestic violence named Esther in Lagos.
In the 18 minutes video above, she revealed how she got pregnant
at 18 due in part to a hostile home environment caused by her step
father. After the birth of her child, the father of her child began
abusing and beating her.
He raped her when her first child was
barely days old and she was still healing from the birth. She was not
even allowed to sit on the chairs or lie down on the bed and he denied
her basic needs by locking up vital items in the house while he went to
work.
She went on to have 2 more children and 3 abortions before she eventually left the relationship after 7 years.
