After 9 Years In Captivity This Woman Was Rescued From Lover

A woman from Delta State (names withheld) who has been held captive by her lover for 9 years in Lagos has regained her freedom.

She was said to have been kidnapped by her lover who hails from Ekiti State, 9 years ago because he was so in love with her and her family was not in support of the relationship.

The woman and her four children

He then took her to a wooden house he built for her in Okerube area of Abaranje, Ikotun, Lagos where she gave birth to four children while her lover acted as the midwife, Daily Sun reports.
According to the neighbours, the woman said she had no idea where she was as her lover was the one who went to the market to get food for her and her children very early in the morn­ing, threatening to kill her if she stepped out of the house.



He made sure he locked the door at all times so she had no way of escaping.

Three weeks ago, the lover fell ill and could not go out during that period to get food for the family as usual.

On Friday, October 24, the woman had to persuade him to try and go out to get food before they die of starvation.

Luck smiled on her and her children as the man forgot to lock the door on his way out.
When she came out, the people in the area who thought she was a mad person started interrogating her.

From her response, the people realized she and her children who were looking so emaciated were mentally sound.

She remembered her sister’s contact and a call was quickly made by one of the sympathizers. In about 30 minutes, the sister arrived at the scene and took her and the children away before her husband came back from the market.

According to eyewitnesses, the woman was not happy with her rescue as she was said to be scream­ing at the top of her voice: “My husband oh, my husband!” thereby getting her sister an­gry who shouted back at her; “which yeye husband you dey call?”
