Is
it a crime to fall in love? That is exactly the question that Mrs. Folasade
Esther (surname withheld by us) has asked herself a million times. She
has been seeking an answer after her heartthrob, who works with an oil company
in Akwa Ibom State, reportedly turned his back on her and their two children to
marry a lover he met on Facebook. Daily Sun gathered that when Folasade, a
physically challenged lady, got married, most people thought it was a marriage
made in heaven.
Unfortunately,
the one-time happy union later turned to hell on earth. Although the bride
counts herself blessed for having two lovely children, she does not hide the
fact that the six-year-old marriage had brought her more tears than joy.
Folasade
said her husband, who she met 15 years ago in Lagos, suddenly broke his marital
vows after battering her for years. The proof of her agony could be seen on her
body, full of indelible scars from bruises allegedly inflicted on her by her
husband. Folasade said she bore her sorrows in uncomplaining meekness, casting
her hopes on the Christian assurance that all would be well again. More after cut:
