A Nigerian woman, Kagbaranee Imeah, who recently accused her husband, Livinus, of assaulting her over an outfit choice, has surprisingly defended him. The incident, which involved her wearing a singlet to drop off their children at school, left her with visible injuries, including a swollen eye.
In a viral video, Imeah expressed regret for "disrespecting" her husband’s wishes, implying her actions contributed to the violence. She said, “The pain of working against my husband's order led to his actions. He has never acted this way before in our marriage.” She also confirmed receiving medical attention at a hospital in Warri, assuring viewers her condition was improving.
Imeah dismissed any notions of regret about her marriage, stating she remains at peace in her matrimonial home. She urged the public to refrain from interfering in her personal life, emphasizing her commitment to her husband despite the incident. “I don’t want harm to come to my husband because of this issue. No one is perfect, and mistakes happen,” she added.
The video sparked mixed reactions on social media. Critics highlighted concerns about domestic violence and the potential for coercion in Imeah’s statement, while others questioned the sincerity of her defense. The incident has reignited discussions about domestic abuse, victim protection, and societal attitudes toward such issues.
Authorities and advocacy groups have not commented, leaving the situation under public scrutiny.
