Triple Black femicide: Zandile Tshuma, 42, and her daughters Natalie, 15, and Nala, 5, were found dead in Bedfordshire.

Police have named her husband and the girls’ father, Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma (also known as Mark), as a suspect and believe he left the UK for Zimbabwe.

Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, just came out of the International STEM Olympiad finale.

Listen to his experience.

We are rooting for him to win gold.

Nigerians, please help me. 🧎‍♀️🙏

On the 16th of April, I received a call from a frightened teenager named Veronica.
She told me that her father had forced her into marriage sometime in March to a man in his forties.

She had been taken all the way from Cross River State to Plateau State, where she was trapped with a complete stranger.
We spent days trying to locate her because she didn't even know where she was.

I reported the case to the Chairperson of Child Protection in Plateau State, who then linked me with Vivien Abara. 💪 Together, we rescued her from that house, even though the man had already alerted security operatives within the area to prevent her escape.

At the police station, he kept talking about the ₦600,000 and other payments he had made to her father. Meanwhile, Veronica kept crying and insisting that she did not know him and wanted nothing to do with him.

Since then, I have moved her through two different temporary shelters across two geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

Today, we need your help to raise atleast ₦3,000,000 to support Veronica's feeding, education, welfare, accommodation, and skills training as she begins rebuilding her life.

Bonnice Foundation

If you cannot donate, please share this post. Every repost could bring us closer to someone who can help.

We have now found a caring family who has already taken her, but they need support to meet her daily needs and necessities.

Veronica stopped school in SS1. Before this happened, she had just begun learning tailoring. She struggles to even read and write properly because the quality of education she received was extremely poor.

She dreams of continuing her tailoring training so she can stand on her own feet, or, if possible, return to school and complete her education.

Her father and the man she was forced to marry are still threatening her.
The man has sworn not to let her go. But no law in Nigeria can force a teenager to remain married to a stranger against her will.

The Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (VAPP Act) also protects her from forced marriage and other forms of abuse.

As an organisation @BONCAFO , we have completely exhausted our internal resources through the rescue, relocation, return, and placement process over the past two months.

In the last three weeks alone, I have personally spent more than ₦300,000.

There are many details I cannot publicly disclose for the safety of Veronica and everyone who has helped along the way.

At this point, silence is no longer helping her case. Veronica is ready to tell the world what happened to her and plead for her father and this man to stop forcing her into a marriage she never wanted.

No teenager should ever have to endure this kind of pain, fear, and trauma.

If we had any other means, we honestly would not be here.

We are a small but growing organisation, honoured to serve as a safety net for vulnerable members of society through the support of people like you.

The Bible describes them as peaceful and vulnerable people. The Tribe of Dan killed them and burned their city
