The ongoing custody case of Kim Lena-Maria Hori has taken a darker turn with the emergence of threatening messages linked to a man identified as Abudu Yauza Inussah, also known as Yauza. Evidence filed with the Ukrainian court reveals explicit threats, harassment, and intimidation aimed at Kim’s father, Steven Hori, raising serious concerns about the safety of the child.

Escalating Intimidation

Court documents submitted on June 23, 2025, include Appendix 7, “Evidence of harassment and intimidation by a third party—Yauza.” The appendix contains screenshots of direct communications from Inussah. These messages are not vague or ambiguous; they are targeted, personal, and aggressive.

One particularly striking message reads:

“You are nothing more than a dishonest person and an imbecile. I will make sure that you are fired from your job. That’s not a problem. You deleted your education from your LinkedIn profile because you lied about it. My goal now is to get you fired from your job.”

This explicit declaration of intent to destroy Mr. Hori’s professional life is accompanied by additional accusations and insults, designed to undermine his credibility and stability.

Beyond Harassment: A Pattern of Provocation

Other messages documented in the file show attempts to pressure Mr. Hori into abandoning his legal fight to recover his daughter. For instance, Inussah wrote:

“Si tu es un homme, viens aux États-Unis… Mariia est morte à cause de toi. Tu l’as mal traitée alors que tu savais qu’il ne lui restait que quelques années à vivre.”

This statement not only insults the grieving father but also attempts to shift blame for the death of his late wife, Mariia Hori, onto him. Such accusations, delivered in a hostile context, are designed to destabilize emotionally and psychologically.

Impact on the Custody Case

The presence of these threats in an international custody dispute is deeply troubling. Instead of focusing on the well-being of the child, the conflict has expanded into a campaign of intimidation against the father. The documents also allege that the child’s grandmother, Tetiana Hrushka, facilitated contact between Kim and Inussah by giving him Mr. Hori’s new private phone number.

Experts in family law stress that introducing a threatening third party into a custody case constitutes a severe breach of the child’s best interests. It exposes the minor to fear and instability, undermining her right to a safe environment.

Conclusion

The threats attributed to Abudu Yauza Inussah illustrate how custody disputes can spiral into dangerous confrontations when external actors intervene with malicious intent. While courts must weigh legal arguments, the urgent question remains: how long can a child be kept safe when intimidation and harassment are allowed to continue unchecked?

The appeal to witnesses is clear: silence enables further harm, but testimony may help protect Kim from danger.
