My story and the birth of my "herbal toothache reliever and healer"
I had just triumphed in a civil case, self-represented, against two defendants who engaged two different lawyers and underestimated my legal prowess and courage. I initially engaged a lawyer, but when the costs became prohibitive, I bravely took on the mantle of representing myself, a bold move that resulted in my victory in court.
However, triumph soon turned to terror. One of the defendants, brimming with vitriol, approached me with a chilling threat. "I will not pay you a dime," he sneered, words laden with malice. "I will come with my village mates, beat you, cut you in pieces then burn you in the house." His words were no hollow threat.
Late one night, on 27th May 2021 at the stroke of 11.30 PM, the air was pierced by the stench of petrol and the ominous sound of liquid splattering against my door. Armed with nothing but a torch, I peered through my window and there they were—two shadowy figures enacting the threat. My heart pounded as I recognized them, especially Jossy, the harbinger of the threat. Panic set in, and confusion clouded my thoughts.
In the heat of the moment, I cried out, "Jossy, you guys want to burn me in the house?" Their gazes met mine, but unfazed, Jossy continued his sinister task. My shouts for help were only just heard as flames engulfed the entry, sealing the fate of my house. And in that heart-stopping moment, I realized I had forgotten another exit. Attempts to flee through the inferno left me with burns—a painful emblem of my ordeal.
From there, the long road to recovery and justice unfolded before me—a road fraught with obstacles and challenges. Yet, it is this arduous journey that has inspired my initiative to support victims of crime. To ensure sustainability, I have created a "herbal toothache reliever," turning pain into a beacon of hope.
