Precious Chikwendu, the estranged wife of Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) has posted an emotional note to her first son, Lotanna reminding him of how he watched her, his mum being beaten like a puppy when he was only 4 months old.
She posted a video of his growing up until she left the marriage she considers too abusive to endure.
Chikwendu recalled how the young boy witnessed so many violence even while he was still in the womb.
She recounted how they were at a dinner in a popular hotel in Ikoyi after his dad was only just released from Ikoyi prison when, after prayers, in midst of guests and so much joy the punches suddenly rained on her by his father.
The mother of four recalls how the blows did not end even when she began bleeding from the nose with blood dropping on her son.
Precious Chikwendu’s birthday message to son:
snowhiteey Happy birthday Aragorn Mara’mm❤️
My darling son Lotanna.
It is another 1st of February normally on such days I usually start the day with an epistle of how amazing you are and how much of an awesome son you’ve been to me from conception to this very day but it is time it is so different.
Lotanna my son, these few months I have spent in so much pain wondering how you have been surviving and how you are coping given the situation surrounding you. I feel so sad and ashamed that you have been used as a pawn .
You are that son that gives me peace and calm in the storm, your ability to understand me even in silence still amazes me. I know you are not ignorant of the happenings but can do nothing as you just soak things in and forge on.
Never underestimate the bond between your mother and you the bond that was formed right from when you were in my womb and you witnessed all the punches, you took them with me as you kicked so hard and would only calm down when I whispered and pleaded with you , affirming that you would one day wipe my tears.
It was only at that point you would calm down and stop kicking as if you understood how those punches and harsh words froze my entire heart and soul.
What haven’t we weathered together?
You witnessed so many in my womb and when you arrived this world, you were barely four months old when you witnessed your mother being beaten like a puppy. You were in my arms that night at the wheatbaker hotel after he was released from ikoyi prison, it was all laughter at first then prayers of Thanksgiving and next punches.
You were dragged from my arms like a little bag of cake and I held on so tightly, the look in your eyes was that of so much fear , I looked into your eyes and I could read you clearly it was more of “Never Let Me Go mum” .
So I held on to you, the more I held on to you the more the punches came . You cried out loudly and my heart shredded the more as the splashes of blood gushing from my nose landed on you. You were so terrified and all I wanted to do was get you out of that scene.
I was able to get off with you and ran to the short stay apartment where chidera and others were before you slept off on my chest after crying for so long.
