Tuokpe, the former wife of political activist and novelist Reno Omokri, has openly accused him of domestic @buse during their marriage.
The claims surfaced in a thorough Instagram post in which Tuokpe revealed her painful experiences and emphasized that no woman should be subjected to any sort of violence.
Tuokpe detailed a number of frightening instances in her article, including a particularly terrifying time when she found bl00d smears on her pillow from a perforated eardrum, which she said was inflicted by Omokri.
She also reported other attacks that prompted her to seek police help.
Tuokpe accused her former spouse of wanting a mate who would adhere to his dominating character, drawing a contrast between her own background and his purported demands.
She wrote:
“No woman should ever tolerate abuse in a marriage, regardless of how infrequent it might be. We often make excuses like wanting to maintain a complete family or staying for the sake of the children. But the truth is, your children deserve better. After the first instance of violence, which left me with a swollen jaw and weeks of pain, I made excuses, thinking I must have provoked the anger. I even had to endure seeing my daughter witness another slap. And there was the morning I woke up to find blood on my pillow from a ruptured eardrum you caused. The final straw was when you assaulted me again, leading me to involve the police.
“Now you claim to be happily married to a woman who doesn’t ‘quarrel.’ Good luck to her, because you always wanted someone you could control and intimidate. I was never meant to be that person; I wasn’t raised to be timid.”
