Yesterday Toke Makinwa made news when she shared the story of a certain man who beat his wife into a pulp
She has now taken to her IG to give an update on the case.
Read below;
”I spent the better part of yesterday dealing with this situation, the purpose of my post yesterday was to send a message not only to Bolaji but anyone guilty of violating another human being. I commend the young man for being brave enough to admit he was wrong, I spoke to him myself and in his words; he didn’t know what came over him. This angered me so much but I’m not here to judge him, he needs all the counseling he can get. I am tired of the blame game, the devil, state of the country, ignorance, I know things are tough out there but pls don’t let frustration make you turn another human being to your punching bag. Even though he has since apologized, the law is already involved. I don’t wish ill on him but you gotta stand up and be counted. The young lady is set to meet @opetodolapo later today and it’ll be on record should this repeat itself again.
A big thank you to @theorangenerd for really stepping up yesterday, he’s offered the young lady a phone since hers was smashed in the process, @donjazzy I know you’ll kill me for this but I don’t know how you give so much of yourself without getting burnt out, Thank you for the financial assistance. @elizabeth_elohor thank you for stepping in too🙏. I feel like we have so many seminars and workshops targeted at women and how we should behave, think, etc but who is raising the boys? Abuse is a vicious cycle, in most cases people who have been victims of abuse go on to inflict same if they don’t get help. Beating the mother of your child as your daughter watches on is so wrong, so wrong and my heart aches for all the people involved. We are hard on our girls but love on our boys and it’s causing more harm than good. Some people don’t even see abuse as wrong, we can do better people, speaking out is key. Shame the shame culture, no one will speak out for you when you are 6ft under, who will raise the kids you are trying to protect if you die? I did not reveal his identity on here but I have shared with the law, I sincerely hope he has learnt his lesson and this will never repeat itself again too”
