A Nigerian woman has sparked outrage on social media after sharing a heartbreaking account of how her ex-husband allegedly barged into her home with a group of thugs and forcibly took away their children. The disturbing incident, which has since gone viral, was documented in emotional videos posted to her TikTok account, @luckydamsel89.
In her series of posts, the woman described the ex-husband, whom she referred to as a self-styled “celebrity carpenter,” as someone who had previously thrown her and their children out of their former home in the dead of night. She claimed the man evicted them around midnight, instructing estate security to bar them from returning. With nowhere else to go, she and the children sought refuge with her mother before she eventually managed to secure her own place.
However, she said the man later showed up unannounced at her new residence, accompanied by a group of men. According to her, they forcefully entered the home, broke down her door, and took the children away against her will. She believes her ex felt emboldened to act that way because of his wealth and public status.
The woman, who is living with a disability, emotionally recounted how she had endured mistreatment while living with him and thought she had escaped the worst by walking away. But the recent raid on her home, she said, showed his need to continue controlling her even after their separation.
Her caption on one of the videos summed up the trauma: “I never imagined I’d live through this. On this day, my ex-husband came to my home with thugs, broke down my door, and forcefully took my children from me.”
She clarified that she wasn’t seeking pity but was speaking out to demand justice and raise awareness for women going through similar abuse. The video has attracted significant attention, drawing empathy from viewers who expressed shock and sadness over the ordeal.
The story has also reignited public conversation around domestic abuse, parental rights, and the misuse of influence. Many called for authorities, especially the Ministry of Women Affairs, to intervene and help the woman regain custody of her children.
The incident serves as another grim reminder of the hidden battles faced by many women, even after leaving abusive relationships.

@luckydamsel89He’s spreading lies that I abused my own children. He’s trying to turn them against me. Manipulating their hearts, confusing their minds. He’s taken them from me — and now he’s poisoning them with false stories. But I am their mother. I just want to see my children. I just want to be in their lives. I stayed silent for too long while he tormented me behind closed doors. I am speaking now. Please… if anyone can help me I need your help.@VDM @Instablog9ja @Mufasatundeednut #divorce #divorcehealing #DomesticAbuseSurvivor #HelpMeSeeMyChildren #ParentalAlienation #HeIsLying #EmotionalAbuse #CoerciveControl #IAmTheirMother #SpeakOut #NoMoreSilence #LetMeSeeMyKids #TruthMatters #ProtectMothers #FamilyCourtJustice #CapCut ♬ original sound – PrettyConfy89
