This is the story of a Nigerian mother of three,Ivie Edobor who was brutally assaulted by her estranged husband, John Edobor, a Zenith Bank employee, who is still walking free while she has lost the use of her right leg.

This is a cry for justice from the very lips of the victim who has chosen to be called a survivor after surviving this gruesome attack from the hands of the very man she shares three lovely children with.

Ivie tells her story in a Facebook post below…

 

[b]'Dear friend,

To shed more light on my ordeal, this is my story.
Two years ago my husband kick me out of his house along with my 3 daughters ages 9, 7 and 4. I was forced to move back to my father’s house and struggled to provide for my 3 children as he completely neglected them and even took them off his medical insurance provided by his office, Zenith Bank Plc.

After much struggle, I finally got back on my feet. Got a great job, enrolled my kids in a new school and rented an apartment for my 3 kids and I.

About Easter time this year he decided he wants to be part of my children’s life again. I allowed him access to the children as I felt we could be civil to each other for the sake of our children. At this time, I had started putting my documentation together for the divorce process. Early hours of June 19th, on my way back from a function, a friend had parked right in front of the gate of my apartment to press the bell for the gateman to open the gate and let me into the compound when suddenly he was rushed at and attacked by a man waving an object.

The first impression was that it was an armed robber trying to rob us. My friend, (a man) pushed him away but he came charging back. At this point, I looked out the opened door and realized it was John Edobor my enstrange husband. Before we could react a group of area boys showed up but rather than saving us from the assailant, they joined him. The proceeded to be my friend on the floor giving John the opportunity to focus his attack on me. He used a metal bar(wheel spanner/ metal rod) to try hitting me on the head through the opened drivers door but I shielded it. Not satisfied with that, he turned to the passengers door dragged out to the floor. I landed on the floor with my legs extended where he proceeded to hit me on the leg continuously with the metal. When he was satisfied he was about going back to join the area boys who had gathered my friend when my neighbour who had heard my screams for help and seen from his window a man striking someone on the floor thinking it was an armed robber, numbed down his balcony with a machete to save whoever was being attacked. On getting down he was faced with my enstrange husband whom he had prevented from entering my compound without my permission on 2 occasions so he recognised him. It was at that point he overpowered John. The area boys recognised him as a member of the security team for the street and backed off my friend. By that time I couldn’t stand up and my leg was bleeding profusely. I was rushed to the hospital where my jeans was torn off my leg to see the nature of my injury. The injury was so severe that my broken bone torn through my skin puncturing an artery in the process. Almost 3months and 2 surgeries later, I have titanium plates and screws to keep my leg in place and I am unable to use my right leg. I still have my 3 children to care for and my life is at a stand still. The perpetuator was charged to court and released on bail 3 days later. Now he moves around freely carrying on with his life. Now is it wrong for me to cry for Justice'.[/b]

We call on the Justice Department, the first Lady of Lagos State, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode and the Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to help the victim Ivie, get the justice she deserves.

Some men are plainly evil and highly demonic. After separation from Her, he still had the mind to physically brutalise and publicly humiliate her. It is a shame that someone that is supposed to be facing Attempted Murder charge is walking freely on the streets. It is equally a shame that Zenith Bank has refused to disengage the attempted murderer who perpetrated an act that is wickedly and uncivil. What kind of bank is Zenith bank BTW? What king of image are they sending out?


I sympathise with the woman and all women that are victims to physical abuse by their spouse, exes or male siblings.

Hitting a woman is highly irresponsible and shameless, hiring thugs to attack a woman and an innocent man is the lowest of shamelessness.

Indeed, the man is unfit to be termed a man in the Council of Men.

Therefore, I, on behalf of myself and all male gender worldwide (from age 1 day and above) hereby strip her husband of the privileged "Man/Male" title. Henceforth, Her husband should be referred to as Ovie and not Mr Ovie, It should be used while addressing Ovie and not "Him or his".

NOTE:
Any man that physically assault any female folk from my family will surely have an appointment with God through the most painful and brutal way.

Kai! Some men are wicked oooo! . The husband is just a very jealous fellow that has become 'possessive', see his evil face face. Nothing irritates me more that a man that hits a woman, if you wan fight you nor sabi road to busstop?

Hope she gets justice, i pray dat man sufferes for his actions
But why dat neighbour no matchet am

divorce is better than domestic violence anytime anyday. The children will never forget this. I pray d woman heals fast and d man to be caught fast.

If the neighbor machete am and e die them go fit change am for the neighbour head. Make person no buy market wey him no price.

Driving them away was the best, the onus lies on the male siblings and relatives of the victim to do the needful on the abuser (ie TREAT HIM Bleep UP using thugs or Sojas).

John the Banker Over to you...

What does this have to do with zenith bank?

half story.now u know why u must vote with your feet when u discover an ex husband is very much alive.

Say NO to Women Brutality.

Domestic abuse.
Woman seek justice.Petition his bank,civil rights lawyers and first lady of Lagos and the CJ.He should pay for his crime.

This is terrible.

This is Lucifer in human skin.....The man deserves life sentence....before then, he should pay all medical fees of the woman and his life savings with entitlements given to the children... my verdict

Dnt worry when that queen that braggs his head finally enters his house, he wil find himself at the bottom of that deep blue sea romancing with queen of the coast the he wil know that John senior Johnson...

He can never be a free man. Lets keep this going by copying and John must be apprehended. Our courts are just nonsense

When will people learn to walk away?

On the other hand, you can't tell what some women really want-you walk away,they call you hardhearted,you stick around,they call you a pain-in-the-neck.

O that the man John would come forward!

Any man that assault a woman is an eternal disgrace to manhood, and doesn't deserve to be a man.

There is NOTHING the fooool will say that can be accepted as valid reasons. Even if she is a serial cheat or insulting it won't justify his disgrace.
