This is because never in her wildest imagination had she envisaged that a man she had known almost all her life could mete such inhuman treatment on her. As you read this piece, Mercy is going through excruciating pains in a private hospital in Okota where doctors are battling to save her life.In fact, the once bubbling woman looks a shadow of herself, as medical report showed that she sustained a third degree burns from the hot iron her husband of two years used on her on Saturday, April 7 2012, which was exclusively reported
Presently, the badly burnt woman maintains a
particular position, by sleeping on her back. She wears an adult pampers when
she eases herself, with a tissue paper by her side, with which she cleans the
fluid coming out from the burns. Help, as gathered, was far from the Imo
state-born woman, as none of her neighbours attempted to go and find out what
was happening when she was desperately shouting for help. It was learnt that
their neighbours failed to respond to her cries for help because it has become
a daily occurrence.
Crime Guard gathered also that on several
occasions, some of the neighbors invited policemen from Ago division who cautioned
her husband after which he was made to sign an undertaking never to raise his
hands on his wife.
Family sources hinted that signs of danger in
the marriage reared its ugly face early after the two love birds fell in love
16 years ago, when Mary was barely 22 years old. But she was apparently blinded
by love, hoping that her heartthrob would outgrow his anger someday, which was
never to be.
Narrating what led to her being a patient in the
hospital, Mary stated, “It all happened on a Saturday. I had prepared boiled
yam, awaiting the arrival of my husband. After a long wait, I decided to eat
mine and left his on the table. He came back few minutes to 11pm and went
straight to bed. Then at about 1 a.m., power was restored and he went to put
off the power generating set and switched over to electricity.
After that, he started ironing his customers’
clothes because he is a dry cleaner.
I was later woken up by the cry of our
one-year-old baby who apparently needed breast milk. All the while, we were
outside before power was restored. Before retiring inside, I took my bath and
fetched water for him to have his.
The unforgettable night
I was fast asleep when I was woken up by a sharp
pain on my back. I thought it was a night mare. But when I opened my eyes, lo
and behold, my husband was planting the hot iron he was using on the clothes on
me. Immediately I turned, he planted it on my chest. When I raised my hand to
prevent it, he planted it on one of my hands .
By then I did not know what to do. I started screaming
and calling on my neighbours for help. I raised my leg to prevent him, again,
he landed the hot iron on me.
As he planted the hot iron hard on my flesh, he
would use a screw driver to peel off the flesh. At a point, I became too weak
to shout. I begged him to stop but he would not. Rather, he would ask me to
tell him how many times his father slept with me. Even in pains, I begged him
to listen to himself and imagine what he was saying.
My response seemed to anger him the more because
he would plant it harder, leaving it on my skin and at the same time, asked me
to tell him the truth.”
At this point, Crime Guard asked if she was
guilty of the claim. She grimaced and replied, “How can that be? The father
already has a wife.” Pausing for a while and staring at the ceiling , a
position she has been maintaining for several hours, she continued, “ at that
point, my baby woke up and started crying . I begged him to allow me breast
feed the baby .
But before I could finish the statement, he
placed the hot iron on my breasts, threatening to kill me if I shout. As he
lifted the iron, I saw that the flesh from my breast had stuck to the iron
surface. Again he pressed it harder on my stomach, leaving it there. I managed
to turn, only for the iron to land on my lap.
He told me there was no way of escape for me
that night, that members of his gang were outside to take my corpse to an
unknown destination by the time he finished with me. At that point, I knew the
end had come for me. I managed to shout out for help with all the strength in
me but I could not.
At that point, he forcefully took Ebuka from the
bed and went outside. I decided to go out because I did not know what he would
do next when he came back. I cannot tell how I crawled out of the room. But I
found myself in the kitchen naked, from where two men who saw me gave me
wrapper to cover myself.
“As I was there, trying to fathom how I would
escape from the compound, somebody shouted that my husband had killed my child.
That was the last thing I heard. I guessed I passed out because I later opened
my eyes and found myself in the hospital.”
Residents of Number 3, Lambe street, Ago
confirmed to Crime Guard that they simply refused to go to Mary’s rescue that
night because it was late and also that her shout for help had been one too
many .
One of them said, “ Since they started living as
husband and wife, there had never been a time we did not experience shout or
crisis from their one-room apartment. It is worse any time the man came home
drunk. We have even gone to report to the police when it became too much
because we did not want a situation where he would kill her one day and we
would be held responsible. Even at that, he did not stop.
“Several times, the woman had wanted to go back
to her family but she wouldn’t. Even her father-in-law had advised her to leave
when she travelled home last December because he was tired of the endless
reports of his son battering his daughter in-law.”
Weeping, after pausing for a while, Mary
recalled how he met her 37-year-old husband. “ We knew each other since 1996.
The relationship blossomed until 2010, when he went for introduction in my
village. I left my hair dressing skill and moved in with him with the hope of
continuing later.”
But that was never to be as she revealed that
rather than continuing learning hair dressing, she started selling pap, all in
a bid to make ends meet and apparently as a demonstration of her love for
Henry.

“He started showing his real colour later. He
started by refusing to drop money for house keep and even when I begged him to
rent a shop for me, he didn’t. Rather, he used the money to drink beer and
smoke . When I advised him against his drinking and smoking habit, he would
flare up and the next thing would be to hit me. Several times I have begged the
police to help me beg him not to raise his hands on me but he wouldn’t”
Another predicament befalls Mary
Sadly, the anguished woman is faced with another
predicament which is her inability to pay her medical bills. Already, Crime
Guard gathered that her bill had amounted to N200,000 . Following this
development, the hospital is threatening to stop treatment. Presently, the
dressing of the burns which ought to be done on daily basis has been extended
to once in two or three days, as a daily dressing cost s N10,000.
Sobbing uncontrollably and at the same time
questioning her choice of partner, she revealed that her family members had not
shown up since the incident occurred, as none of them, according to her, was
aware of the incident.

“My mother must not hear of this because it will
kill her. She is presently taking care of my sister who just put to bed in
Owerri. I can not reach my relatives either because my phone is not with me and
I do not have their phone numbers off hand.”
Crime Guard learnt that since the incident took
place, her father in-law had been responsible for the hospital bills. But there
is little Pa Nnamdi could do as the bill, as gathered, had gone beyond his
capacity. Hospital sources disclosed that though their management had tried to
attend to Mary’s case, there are indications that it might discharge her if the
accrued bill is not cleared.
One of the doctors who identified himself simply
as Eze explained that “she had a third degree burn and her case may deteriorate
if she does not receive adequate care. She even fainted last Tuesday because
she was not given food and her people lacked the fund to bring her back to
normal state.”
He further disclosed that Mary was rushed to the
hospital in a state of coma, adding that , “ The husband used pliers on her
skin and decimated her. Then a hot iron was applied on her face, body chest,
and her two breasts. Meanwhile, she has not been informed of the demise of her
one-year-old son considering her present state.”

However, the alleged perpetrator of this
dastardly act, Mr Henry Nnamdi who was arrested by neighbours, is currently at
the State Criminal Investigation Department , Panti, Yaba. Efforts to speak
with him proved abortive.
