Nigerian Woman Alleges Brutal Beating by Ex-Husband After Asking Him to Stop His Side Chick's Harassment Calls

 

A Nigerian woman identified as Chinonso Onuoha has publicly shared her harrowing experience of alleged domestic violence, infidelity, emotional, and psychological abuse during her marriage.

In a series of detailed Facebook posts that have since gone viral, Chinonso recounted enduring years of torment in what she describes as an abusive relationship. One particularly shocking incident she highlighted was being physically assaulted by her then-husband after she confronted him about his alleged side chick's persistent harassing phone calls.

“I was beaten for asking my ex-husband to tell his side chick to stop calling to harass me,” she wrote, detailing how the simple request for intervention escalated into violence.

Chinonso claimed the abuse included repeated physical beatings, emotional manipulation, and infidelity that severely impacted her mental health. She alleged that despite her efforts to address the issues, including pleading for the harassment to end, her ex-husband responded with aggression instead of resolution.

The woman, now separated or divorced (referred to as ex-husband in her posts), said the ordeal left her traumatized but determined to speak out to raise awareness about domestic violence and the often-overlooked role of third-party interference in marital breakdowns.

Domestic violence remains a significant issue in Nigeria, with many survivors facing stigma, lack of support, or retaliation when speaking up. Organizations such as the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) and national helplines encourage victims to report incidents and seek help.

Chinonso's story has sparked widespread reactions online, with many sympathizing with her plight and calling for stronger protections for women in abusive marriages.

This account is based on the woman's public statements; the ex-husband has not been reached for comment in available reports, and allegations remain unverified in court.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact local authorities, helplines like the Nigerian Police (101) or relevant NGOs for support.
