Chukwuemeka Onyinye Ella announced on Facebook that her ex-husband has died about one year after their divorce. She said the father of her children allegedly forced her out of their home last year over another woman. According to her post, he told her he had married her when he was younger and lacked wisdom, but that he now knew what he wanted. He then ended their 13-year marriage to be with the other woman. She added that she went through difficulties in court while seeking a share of the properties they had acquired together. She said she recently learned that he had passed away after the woman he left her for allegedly struck him on the head during a quarrel. "Peace of mind don k.ill am," she wrote. She also said that during the 13 years she spent with him, they had never behaved in such a way, explaining that she would remain silent when he spoke, and that she was simply shocked. Her post prompted reactions from women who described husbands who had left them returning when they needed care, while the women they had left them for abandoned them.
