š© āPLEASE HĀ£LP ME POST THIS ANONYMOUSLY. I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE TO TALK TOā¦ā
Hide my ID and notify me.
Iāve been quiet for too long. Iāve swall0wed sh@me, paiin, and confu$ion. But now, my heĆ rt canāt carry it anymore.
I l0st my husb@nd in November 2023 ā a quiet, gentle soul who never looked for tr0uble. He d!ed while traveling to Abuja for a contract his best friend hĀ£lped him secure. I didnāt know that same friend would become the nightm@re Iām b@ttling today.
š© The betr@yal I never expected
After my husband was bur!ed in the village, he came to me like a brother:
Donāt worry, Iāll help you process the m0ney from the contract.ā āYour husb@nd trusted me, so let me stand in for him.ā
Because we trusted him, he had access to some of my husbandās business documents and bank details. I was gr!eving ā I wasnāt thinking straight. And thatās how this man d!verted over ā¦17 m!llion that was meant for my husb@ndās company.
He transferred the contract to his own company name, cla!med my husband was āno longer available,ā and continued collecting payments from the client. All while I was using my savings to feed my two sons and pay school fees.
I went to the p0lice, they say āsettle it as familyā
I have £vidence. Bank transfers. Chats. Even audio recordings.
But when I rep0rted him, the DPO in the area station told me:
Ah madam, no go disgr@ce yourself. This na your husbandās padi. Try make una settle for peace.
Chuka even had the audacity to say I should marry him so he can help me raise my sons well ā after ste@ling my husb@ndās business!
š Iām sink!ng. I donāt know what to do.
Iāve been surviving on small jobs just to feed my kids.
The house rent is due.
My late husb@ndās car was seized by the bank.
His family says I should ālet it go and move on.ā
Move on from what? 17 million? The business he built for us? The betr@yal from his best friend?
Please, I need the advice of str@ngers now:
Should I file a case in court, even though people say āI wonāt winā?
Or should I let go and start from scratch for peace sake?
Iām tired of $uffering in silence.
Please post this for me.
I need to know ā what would you do if you were me?
