The murder of Deborah Moses has left Nigeria reeling. Known for her creative flair and rising career in interior design, Deborah’s life was cut short in a brutal attack allegedly carried out by her ex-boyfriend, Lintex—a man she had tried to escape after enduring months of physical abuse.
According to reports circulating on social media, Lintex refused to accept the breakup. On the day of the attack, he disguised himself as a dispatch rider to bypass estate security. Deborah, who had already warned guards she wasn’t expecting any deliveries, was still vulnerable. Lintex found another way into the compound, broke into her home, and stabbed her multiple times.
Neighbors who heard her screams rushed in and managed to restrain the attacker before handing him over to police. He is now in custody, while Deborah’s family and friends are demanding swift justice.
A voice note shared by Deborah’s sister revealed that the abuse had been ongoing. Deborah had finally decided to walk away—but her decision was met with deadly retaliation.
The story has ignited a firestorm online, with Nigerians calling for tougher laws and enforcement against domestic violence. Many are asking: how many more women must die before the system protects them?
Deborah’s death is not just a personal tragedy—it’s a national indictment. Her story is a painful reminder that leaving an abusive relationship can be the most dangerous step a woman takes. And it’s a call to action that can’t be ignored.
