A viral video posted by a Nigerian hair entrepreneur has triggered widespread public concern after she alleged long-term abuse, threats to her life, and an attempt to take control of her properties amid a marital dispute.

The businesswoman, identified as Esther, is known for selling premium imported wigs, hair extensions, and beauty products. In an emotional video now circulating widely on social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and WhatsApp, she accused her husband of eight years, Justice Okereke from Ngor Okpala in Imo State, of physical and emotional abuse throughout their marriage.

In the footage, Esther claimed that after she demanded a divorce, tensions escalated. She further alleged that her husband left their residence with documents relating to properties she says were financed through her personal business income. Expressing fear for her safety, she appealed to the public to take her claims seriously.

The video has since generated thousands of reactions online, with hashtags such as #JusticeForEsther, #EndDomesticViolenceNG, and #ProtectWomen trending across platforms. Many users have urged law enforcement authorities to investigate the allegations and ensure her safety, while others have called on domestic violence advocacy groups to intervene.

As of the time of this report, there has been no official statement from the Imo State Police Command confirming an investigation or arrest in connection with the claims. There has also been no verified public response from the accused individual.

Domestic violence experts say cases involving alleged economic control and property disputes can become particularly volatile, especially when one partner seeks separation. Advocacy groups continue to stress the importance of timely reporting, documentation of threats, and seeking protective measures through appropriate legal channels.

The situation has renewed national conversations about domestic safety, women’s economic independence, and the legal protections available to individuals’ facing threats within intimate relationships.

Authorities generally advise anyone experiencing credible threats or domestic abuse to report incidents to local law enforcement and seek support from accredited non-governmental organizations and human rights bodies.

This remains a developing story, and further updates are expected should authorities confirm formal investigations or responses from the parties involved.
