Following a string of distressing incidents that resulted in her husband’s incarceration and the deportation of her children by social services, a Nigerian woman living in the UK has appealed for help.

The woman talked about her experience, which started on December 3, 2024, in an interview.

“On the 3rd of December, my daughter, who I have always had concerns about and have always spoken to the school about, made a disclosure to her school as regards my husband,” she explained.

Feelings At his shop, a NYSC member organises a mini-parade for his uncle, who has been my father since I was three.

“My husband was arrested on the same day, and on the 8th of December, my daughter retracted her statement.”

The woman claims that social services quickly stepped in after.

“On the 12th of December, the social services gave me a letter to be at the court at 1 pm, and the court was at 2 pm on that same day. My children were immediately removed from me,” she revealed.

She said she was distraught by the court’s decision to take her kids away.

“I started having supervised contacts with them, and the student social worker accused me of whispering to my daughter and intimidating her. Hence, I was arrested by the police on the 6th of January 2025 and bailed not to see my children for now.”

There was more to the woman’s problems than that. She claimed that she was further isolated after the police seized her electronic devices.

“The police have got in custody both my phones and laptop,” she said.

“Durham police have been unfair to me and social workers because I’m the only one fighting this course. I can’t see my children, neither can I communicate with my husband on bail.”

She begged Nigerian officials for help in her plea, stating, “Please come to my rescue. I have no contact in the Nigerian High Commission to help, nor anyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist.”

The woman also complained about how the school had handled her earlier concerns regarding her kid.

“I have been raising documented concerns with this school at her behaviour, exposure, and ways of life. Even the school at a point were questioning if that was the right place for her,” she stated.

Many Nigerians in the UK and abroad have shown sympathy for her suffering as a result of the upsetting case.

She added, “I know a lot of Nigerians are in this situation. No one is stopping them from investigating, but the way this is being handled is unfair.”
