She said she was accused of accusations, disloyalty and infidelity, leading the traditional ruler to dissolve the marriage and instructed that my two-year-old son be brought to him, since he bore Obade as a surname.

Narrating what transpired, she said, “Immediately, he directed that a driver takes me to the Obade’s family house where I slept and was taken to the park the next day.

“As I was arranging my luggage, my husband, accompanied by four men, walked in. Two of them stood at the door while the other two came inside close to where I was assembling my valuables. They requested for my Nigeria International passport when I hesitated, he threatened that I should not make things worse for myself.

“One of them grabbed me and forcefully collected my passport and British Biometric Resident Permit Card. I couldn’t help myself, I just stood there and cried.

“Considering the reality of things, instead of travelling, I stayed back to appeal to the Obade family for my child, beginning with my husband, his father and his mother.

“But they said the matter was beyond them since the king had made a pronouncement on it. I also pleaded for my travel documents, but my husband told me that his brother had been instructed to take me to my maternal uncle’s place.

“I had to approach the authorities to help stop him before he leaves the country. Whereas we were all meant to be on the Rwanda Air flight he was going to catch when he was arrested.

“I am losing my mind, for more than a week now, I do not know the whereabouts of my son. He is barely two years old and I want to be there for him as his mother.”
