“I Am Trapped”: Nigerian-German Woman Begs For Rescue From Legal Nightmare In Germany, Pleads For Justice, International Support
“I’m trapped, I’m trapped,” she exclaimed in a three-minute 18, 18-second video clip, her voice laced with emotion.
Christiana Clajus, a Nigerian-German citizen, has made a heart-wrenching appeal for help, revealing a shocking tale of injustice and desperation.
“I’m trapped, I’m trapped,” she exclaimed in a three-minute 18, 18-second video clip, her voice laced with emotion.
Christiana’s ordeal began with allegations of physical assault, defamation, and, eventually, divorce proceedings. Despite engaging seven different lawyers, she feels that the justice system has failed her.
“I’m here to share my ordeal with my fellow Nigerians about the situation that I’m in in Germany. I have been trapped for the past seven years with my husband, a German man, from the case of physical assault to defamation, and from defamation to divorce. In this process, I’ve had seven different lawyers. Still, there’s no justice for me,” she said.
“As the case is now, I’m trapped. I’m trapped. All evidence that will help in my case has been suppressed. Lawyers have ganged up against me. Even private investigators have ganged up against me with my lawyers. I cannot see my way forward; I am trapped here with my two children.”
As a German citizen, Christiana feels that she is being unfairly treated as a Nigerian woman. “The court doesn’t see anything wrong with it,” she lamented. “They call me a Nigerian woman, and I’m treated differently.”
“This oppression is too much; I cannot take it any longer. I’m a German citizen; my two children are also German, but I’m being called a Nigerian woman, and the court doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
“Lawyers have ganged up to suppress evidence that will help in my case, and the son filed a lawsuit against me in different courts. I’m running from court to court, swimming in debt. I cannot see my way out. I am trapped; I am trapped with this wicked system.”
Christiana’s situation highlights the challenges faced by immigrant women in navigating foreign justice systems.
In a desperate bid for help, Christiana is appealing to the international community, human rights organisations, and the Nigerian government.
“I’m using this opportunity to call on the international community, International Human Rights, Amnesty International to come and deliver me from the hands of this justice system that is toxic, that is hostile,” she pleaded.
Christiana’s cry for help is directed at Nigerian President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Abike Dabiri, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), among others.
“President Ahmed Tinubu, I need help. Abike Dabiri, I need help,” she implored. “I need urgent international intervention. I need diplomatic support from my embassy as soon as possible before this system swallows me.”
As Christiana’s plea for help goes out to the world, many are left wondering how such a situation could have persisted for so long.
