Before her passing, Faith, who reportedly married at 17, documented years of severe physical and mental torture

 

“Calling the attention of everyone, friends, family, Unubians, Akwuchukwu and the entire Umuezume of Agudegwu to hold Omerebere Faith Okafor's husband accountable,” she wrote.

 

"Omerebere got married at 17 years old then, and her husband was 38 then. By 26, she had carried 5 pregnancies with severe domestic violence.

 

"He wanted a baby girl for a wife but treated her like a boxing match. Attached is just one of the screenshots of my conversation with her.

 

She d!ed due to heightened High Blood Pressure known as Pre-eclampsia, when the 5th pregnancy was about 6 to 7 months.

 

"The baby girl found herself in marriage, into the umbrella of a woman beater. In one of her voice notes to me, she explained how she was beaten to stupor during her 3rd pregnancy and she landed in the hospital and went through a chest X-ray. 

 

Unfortunately, she d!ed struggling with the 5th pregnancy.

 

Omerebere's d3ath will not slide and be pushed under the carpet just like others.

 

Parents must protect their daughters in marriage. Violence in marriage is a d3ath sentence. 

 

"I wanted to wait after her burial before showing evidence but I can't wait. After I was contacted and told they were not taking responsibility and reflecting on how the beautiful Omerebere d!ed.

 

"Showing the evidence and exposing the wife beater husband would be the best way to give Omerebere a benefiting burial.

 

Moreso, Omerebere's spirit would be glad seeing that NCM stood for her and exposed the man that caused her untimely d3ath through complications from the domestic violence.

 

"The family is changing the narrative to say she d!ed during child delivery.

 

No, Omerebere was smart to have run to me  knowing that even if they k!ll her, NonyeCares will not keep quiete.

 

"Part of my intervention then was for her to leave the marriage, at least for one year and check if the man would change but her parents advised her to stay because of her children. 

 

Omerebere trusted that NonyeCares would tell her story and you all know that I won't fail her. Justice for Omerebere. The more they are denying what led to her d3ath, the more I will push out evidence.

 

“I might even come on a live show to play her voice notes. Omerebere's d3ath must liberate others who are still going through Domestic Violence.”
