MERCY AIGBE: My husband beat me mercilessly, stepped on my face and was going to kill me (VIDEO)

 

 A lot of us thought this was a joke but it's not a joke or a movie script. This no doubt has left us in tears and hopefully her estranged husband would be caught someday. The guy who has vowed to blackmailed her should also be arrested. 

Mercy looked beaten, battered and broken. The visible black pouch under her left eye bears screeching testimony to her present struggle and tales of a survivor. Popular actor, Mike Ezuruonye who was in the office of BROADWAY TV  as at the time she came in couldn’t believe his ‘eyes’. It appeared he was looking at another Mercy Aigbe. A ‘Mercy’ who bore no resemblance to the queen on the screens. He kept muttering to himself, ‘whoever did this to Mercy is a monster. This is unbelievable’.

 

In a nutshell Mercy Aigbe said that  When this incident happened and she saw the way he was going about it, she went to the Lagos State for Domestic Violence Department,

''I went to see the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs Lola Akande and I think that was a week after the incident. I also went to the office of the public defender; I saw Mrs Tope Salami and I explained everything because I do not feel safe with my kids. I feel like he is going to send some people to kill me. On Thursday after the incident, I went home to get some of my things and he sent 3 thugs to the house to prevent me from taking anything. One of them almost beat me up, I had to run to Ojodu Grammar School Police Station to get some police and they arrested the thugs he sent. A man who can go to that extent, a man who can do all these things to me after beating me he can do anything. I am scared for my life and my children’s lives. The case is in court, it is not in my place to put him in prison, I have a child for him. I don’t want people to see me like that. I just want him to know the gravity of what he did to me and see the consequences. He has to.''

What is next for her?

Well she said,

''I don’t know what is next for me. All I know is that I have to take care of myself because I still cough out blood and I have to do the surgery. I have to make sure that I am okay.

 Exerpts from her interview.

Do you agree on the allegations that you cheated on your husband?

I have never cheated on Lanre and he knows it and that is the most painful part of all these. If or maybe he had shown a bit of remorse after what he did to me, I am a woman instead he went online, started granting interviews and fabricating hideous lies just to tarnish my image. He went on saying I have cheated on him several times, I never cheated on him, never! He came up with those lies so as to get sympathy or justify what he did, that was why I told him to come out with proof. It is not enough that you are alleging that I did this; he should come out with proof. He said a lot of things, a lot of damaging things and the day I read those things online I was completely broken.
I never knew I was married to my enemy because only my enemy can do that. He lied that I was mentally unstable and I do not take care of my parents. He said that he has caught me with men and all those things that he said, he doesn’t have a proof; he just said all those things so as to defame my character. I have never cheated on him.
Even when I was single I never had any scandal, so why would he now say that I was cheating on him with different men and none of these so called relationships got out? Is it possible?
For someone like me to cheat on my husband several times and he kept catching me. Is it even possible? If you are reading this Lanre, your conscience will judge you. I have been supportive, a lot of people think I married you because of your money, they do not know the story, they do not know anything. I read a lot of things online and I just shake my head because only God knows. I give you my money a lot of times. 2 months ago, I gave you money to buy ticket for your daughter who was on the sick bed abroad for treatments. I gave you Two Hundred and Sixty thousand naira and this is just one of those many times. A lot of people think I married you because of your money but Lanre, you know, people very close to us know that you have never given me money to even shoot a movie.

All the movies I have shot was with my money and I have had to work hard. I had my son through Caesarean Section (CS), I was on set not even 40 days after because I needed the money. I don’t know someone who claims to love me will go to the extent of trying to ruin me or my image. The image I worked so hard to build. Lanre, the fact is that you beat me and you have always been beating me and everybody knows.
3 years ago, I took you to Area F where you signed an undertaking that you aren’t going to beat me again and ever since then, you have beaten me several times. I know people will call me a fool for staying that long and yes I do agree with them, I agree that I shouldn’t have endured for that long but I am just a woman who wanted a home, who wanted to stay married.
I did a series of interviews where I praised you but I just couldn’t come out and wash my dirty linens in public. I couldn’t come out and tell people about what I was going through. I couldn’t come out to put my husband in a bad light. A lot of things that I do by myself I would actually give the credit to you and I agree that I am a fool for doing that but like Yoruba will say “Ile eni lati je ekute onidodo” (Whatever you are going through should be in the privacy of your home).
I couldn’t just come out and say that my husband has been beating me or he isn’t financially okay because I believe that a wise woman builds her home and I was ready to do everything and that was why I stayed that long.

Has he ever caught you with anything incriminating or with any man?

No, he has never caught me with any man.
