It is important we know that when a young woman is murdered, there usually is a background story. Most cases arises from threats by a past lover or partner and when this happens, she always reach out to people, friends, and if opportuned to know any organization, she runs to them for safety.
If we investigate the friends of Uwa, we may discover that at some point in their conversations, she actively or mildly mentioned her fears.
Every young woman in Nigeria that has been murdered, raped and molested by someone, the perpetrator is a close acquaintance or connected to one: an ex-lover, a jealous friend, and an angry partner, etc.,

Two months ago, a young lady reached out to our organization and in her voice, the fear and anxiety was inevitable. I will keep her anonymous for now to protect her identity until justice is achieved. The perpetrator will not be granted anonymity because the goal is to call out for his immediate arrest and detainment, and also create a public awareness on his actions.

Her story:
I had met him in my sister’s school where he was a student at the Imo State Polytechnic. He asked me out and we started dating. He was a gentle man from the beginning and it didn’t take me long enough to fall heads over in love. For him, I did anything and everything. I did not keep anything from him, my email account details, my social media information, and even my banking information, including my BVN, and one day I gave him my ATM to withdraw my money for us while I was at his place. That was how much I trusted him and expressed all the love my heart could not contain.

Months into the relationship, I discovered something that shook me out of place. He was using my email account to conduct online scam and robbing monies off foreign citizens, and in addition to that, he was a member of the cult in his school that has been involved in several cases of injustices against female students. The biggest shocker was that he had sex videos of his ex-girlfriends on his phone and I observed him threaten them with the video occasionally. I knew I was in trouble and I should run really fast.

I started to feel afraid and anxiety attacks and decided to confront him, hoping that somehow, there would be an explanation that reduces my fear or help assure me that I was wrong or dreaming. I asked him questions about the online scam and the school cultism, and he suddenly became violent, and hit me so hard I could not breathe. He pushed me off and said I should mind my business. From that day of confrontation, he started to hit me more and accuse me of not minding my business.

I decided to end the relationship, even though I knew he was still using my email account. I decided I will create another email account and social media. I wanted to just focus on my studies and heal from the relationship, but to my greatest shock, I got an immediate debit alerts from my account (just seconds, after my school fees was sent) and in the blink of an eyes, all my school fees was gone. My account was empty. I thought I would die. I started to cry and scream and roll on the floor.
The school fees were due for that week and I had just received it from my parents who sell small provisions to ensure I go to school. I rushed to the bank and they printed my bank statement (they were convinced that I withdrew the money by myself because of the BVN authorization). To my utmost shock, my bank statement showed his name. He withdrew all my 67,000 Naira.
My bank said I should request for a new ATM, and to make the request, I had to put in one thousand naira into my account to activate it and I did, but immediately he saw the 1000 naira, he took it out of my account. I felt helpless and afraid. I started to call him to cry and ask him to please return my money. I told him I would drop out of school if I can’t pay my tuition. I told him I wouldn’t mention to anyone that he was manipulating the other girl. I told him I will not say a word about his involvement with the cult or his online scam, but he started to threaten my family and me. My parents got to know about it and my father started to cry after he sent some thugs to harass my both parent in their shop.
I dropped out of school. We became silent because of fear.
I fear for my life, I fear for my parents. I fear for the school I never completed. My email accounts is still being used. My BVN had been used to lend money from online loaners and I know that I am the next girl on the list. I want Nigeria to help me. I want NGOs to help me. Please.

I added the pictures of Uwa, just so we are reminded of a potential result for silence.

*** Her bank statement is available for only appropriate bodies and those interested in working on the issue. More documents; screenshots of chats and his earlier responses when we first contacted him last month is also available. I should mention that he initially accepted and complied to the complaints and signed a letter to refund her money but never did or provided a reason. He has been actively threatening her.
