A young Nigerian woman who lost her husband at the age of 23 has spoken about the horrific things she has suffered.
She shared a video showing what she was subjected to by his kinsmen.
The mother-of-two – a boy and a girl – shared a video showing women in the community shaving her head with a blade after her husband’s death.
She added in the caption that her husband’s family took everything from her, leaving her to care for the kids alone.
She wrote: “I married at 19, had my first child at 20, second child at 21, became a widow at 23.
“They collected everything from me. The worst part is they don’t ask of the kids.”
