A disturbing video brought to light a woman’s serious accusations against her husband, amidst their ongoing divorce.

The distressing post, shared on Facebook by Lakhi Mkhize, was met with shock and disbelief from many social media users.

In the video, the woman, whose identity is not revealed, was sitting in a car outside a police station. She shared that she was there to collect a protection order she had opened against her Nigerian husband, claiming he was threatening to kill her. She further alleged that he told her she would suffer an untimely death because he did not want her to get a share of their assets as they were divorcing. She also alleged that her husband had isolated her, removing her from her friends and family, and preventing her from seeing them.

She went on to claim that her husband was a ritualist, accusing him of sacrificing their two-month-old baby, who she said passed on last year. The grieving wife further alleged that after the baby's death, her husband purchased cars with the money he supposedly gained from the supposed sacrifice. She said that while she was still grieving the loss of her baby, her husband told her to get over it, offering to buy her anything she wanted. She ended the video by making a solemn promise that he would not touch her son or take him to Nigeria, adding that she would make sure of that.
