Ondo State Capital, Akure.Middle-aged woman and mother of two, Mrs. Oluwakemisola Falade, and her spouse, have urged government and Civil Societies Organisations (CSOs) to save her family from the community over non-compliance with forceful circumcision of her daughters.
Falade, who lives in Ifira, Akoko South-East Council of Ondo State, refused to allow the community to carry out the age-long tradition of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM) on her daughters.
Consequently, the community, despite international outcries and campaigns against the cultural practice, threatened to attack the family if they insist on their stance.
The Guardian learnt that Mrs. Falade, a businesswoman, has suffered serial abuse and dehumanisation from some family elders and community leaders.
