Start Helping Africa From The Nucleus

Mburli Stephanie is legally to married Tanyu Stepehen and they have seven children.

They got married in 1975. Stephen collected Stephanie’s copy of the marriage certificate and hid which today is nowhere to be found.

Last year, Stephanie discovered that a birth certificate belonging to one of her children who wanted to register for the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Ordinary level was nowhere to be found. With all these five children, Stephen had never bought books nor paid fees for any of them.

Stephanie and her children live on peasant farming and each time she cultivates and harvest, Stephen steals and take to the market for sale to enable him use the money to gamble.

At one time Stephen told Stephanie that he has observed that she is suffering a lot with the children and as such he wants to sell the only piece of land that they are having and Stephanie refused.

Stephen had collected money from people through a monthly contribution loan scheme (Njangi) in Binju, Nkambe Central Sub Division.

Last week, Mr. Stephen came to Stephanie with a group of members from the monthly meeting thrift and loan scheme to hand over to them our piece of land that he had earlier made proposals to sell.

Stephanie told the group of people to take Mr. Stephen to the Police but they refused and insisted on taking the piece of land.

Stephanie followed them to their monthly thrift and loan meeting house where she was informed that her husband owed them the sum of three hundred and twenty five thousand francs. She told them that she was going to pay and own the said piece of land which they accepted.

Mr. Stephen was asked to write a written agreement to prove that he has handed over the said land to them which he did.

Truly Stephanie has released Stephen on bail 8 times for illegal acts. Stephanie is pleading to the Commissioner of Police to use his office to help her on the following:

Let Stephen produce her copy of their marriage certificate

Let Stephen produce one of the children’s birth certificate

Stephen is a regular gambler; he will one day sell the house in which the family is living so Stephanie will be very grateful for the intervention of the Commissioner.
