A city woman has left many shocked after she took to social media to narrate how she was banished from her matrimonial home after one of her twins died mysteriously a week after birth.

The heartbroken mother, who shared the story using a pseudo account, narrated how one of her twins died under unclear circumstances after a naming ceremony. She explained how her mother-in-law and an elder took the babies for the ceremony which lasted for several hours and later returned them at 2 am.

The woman revealed that she was ill during that time and couldn't manage to accompany her twins.

She explained that when their grandmother brought them back home, she just covered them and slept without checking on them.

"I woke up as usual. to have my breakfast which my mum in-Law had prepared, I waited for my babies to wake up but only one woke up at 10 am, of course, I assumed the girl was still asleep. I didn't worry after all they were just a week old and steep was best for them. I waited till fpm my baby girl wasn't waking up, my mum in-law came to wash the babies for I was told to rest not to strain when she went to check my baby girt she found the baby dead and the next thing I heard were shouts all over the compound -you have killed my granddaughter" soon enough the compound was full of women with cooking sticks, I was chased from my husband's home and ratted a murderer. I was not allowed to carry along my remaining twin boy one week old but since she only discovered her child's death in the morning when she tried to wake up her daughter," mother wrote in part. 

She went ahead to explain how she was forced to flee to neighboring Uganda after receiving threats from her husband and his family, leaving her son behind (one of the twins who survived).

"My son was taken to a boarding school, he's a big boy now I sneak to visit him in the school he promised never to tell anyone he met his mum, I try as much as I can never to tell him his twin siz was kilted coz he will hate his family. May God take care of my only son for me I know he will come to me for good one day," she wrote.

Many women suffer at the hands of their mothers-in-law and their husbands do little to protect them.
