Singer, Eniola Akinbo aka Niyola, speaks strongly against domestic violence after watching first hand how her friend,Sandile Mantsoe, a South African lady was beaten and burnt down to death by her abusive boyfriend.
She said that the murder was cleaned up neatly with the help of the man’s family members and if not for the presence of a CCTV camera, the crime would have not been discovered.
Niyola cries out a warning saying;
“Don’t be fooled about anybody’s supposed family / friend’s support and pacifying. When it comes down to it, they will protect their own. Women I beg you, don’t protect that man by lying to your family or friends about his evil , inhumane ways . Speak out !!!! If you know he is bad for you , don’t say his family loves you … RUN !This one has been charged with pre meditated murder, and a bail hearing in 2 weeks but we won’t rest till justice is served”
This explains that the suspect has been arrested and is on his way to prison.She also went ahead to say that women should not cover up these crimes for the men.Also, that it is nothing to be ashamed of since it is the man’s crime and not the woman’s.
It is better to report immediately to the cops and fight for justice while one is still alive, like the saying goes, it is better safe than sorry.
Niyola is still mourning for her friend who died in the hands of a beast, her abusive boyfriend, as she ends her speech with “RIP KAY”
