Ronke Shonde, who was allegedly killed by her

a 27-year-old victim of domestic violence has
spoken out.
Esther told Channels TV on Tuesday that she had
been a victim of domestic violence for the past
seven years but held on to her marriage because
she had nowhere else to go.
She revealed how she was impregnated at 18 due
to the hostility in her by her stepfather.
She said after the birth of her child, the father of her
child began abusing and beating her.
”My problems began after my mother remarried 10
years after my father died,” She said.
“My step father does not want to see me. He hates
me and my kid brother with a passion. He keenly
shows me hatred to the extent that whenever he is
at home, I can’t go into the house, I hang around,
and I will not even be able to sleep in the house.

to leave his house since the condition there was
unbearable and I got into a relationship with a man
and my life became a living hell.
“I have no access to anything in the house; when he
wants to go out, he will disconnect the wires and
lock up the refrigerator. He denies my basic needs
by locking up vital items in the house while he went
to work.
