Dear MIMsters: What Did I Do Wrong That Deserved My Baby And I Sleeping in Jail?

I want justice from the Almighty.

I met this guy in my third year in the university who told me he wanted to marry me. He was not working when I met him. Whenever he came to visit me in school, I would cook for him and even share my little pocket money with him, would encourage and was always there for him.

I got pregnant, told him about it and told me to keep it that he was going to see my people. Soon, he stopped calling me three months into the pregnancy. The only money he gave me was fifteen thousand naira which I used to register for ante natal. With my money, I bought all necessary baby things and also paid for my delivery.

I was wept all through my final year exams but still managed to pass by the grace of God. He got a job and was transferred to Lagos and stopped calling me or sending me money for eight months. I reported to his sister who picked a quarrel with me and told me that I’m washing my dirty linen in public.

He came to visit me in April this year and assured me that things would soon be okay. He still slept with me meanwhile he was actually planning to get married to another woman. I checked his phone and saw pictures of him and the woman in the uniform. She is an elderly woman in her early forties.

I sent her a whatsapp message with his phone telling her that he has a daughter. She called him immediately around 1am on 5th of September, 2016. He got very angry because of the message I sent to the lady and denied that he doesn’t have a daughter when the lady called him in my presence.

I confronted him and he called police for me and my daughter and slept in the station till morning. .

I didn’t get violent with him. I asked him and said he was in a relationship and asked why has not told me and kept mute. He wanted to leave my house in Abuja at around 1am but I refused and removed the keys and hid it somewhere. That was when he called the police that I held him against his wish
I refused to open the door because it was late and does not know anywhere around my house. He is a road safety officer based in Lagos. He called his sister and told her that if anything happened to him that I should be held responsible.

What did I do wrong? I want God Almighty to vindicate and fight this battle for me.
