“He mistreated me starting at the age of nine.
He used to chase me around the house and hit me when he saw me chatting with a neighbor, simply because he wanted to abuse me with a piece of wood.
“He threatened me constantly and I always feared for my life. He told me he would kill me if I said anything.
Today, I am withdrawing my complaint against him because I am scared for the lives of my children and myself, due to the threats I received from my father’s siblings.
“They have no worries about what has occurred.
“I desire for him to deteriorate in prison. I desire for righteousness to be served.”
