A lady was, today, brutalized by her husband for allegedly slamming the door against him at their Abuja home.
According to the ‘wife-beater’, he had warned her, on several occasions, against the act, but she has refused to change, hence the beating.
However, an eyewitness said:
“I am so bitter this evening. I was sleeping when noise in the neighborhood woke me up, so I rushed out to see what was happening. .
Behold, a woman lying down on the ground with a lot of blood. I asked people what happened and I was told that the husband beat her to that extent.
I looked and saw the husband still quarreling with people who came to know what the wife did. He spoke with no sign of remorse towards people and even attempted fighting people too.
I was told he has been maltreating and assaulting his wife for two years now, but the wife can’t summon courage to go because her parents are dead and she doesn’t know anywhere else to go.
I asked about her relations, if any is Abuja, but they said they don’t know. I could see the wife’s pain.
Even though she was bleeding people around didn’t really care about her state of health. No one offered to take her to hospital. All they were just doing was heaping curses on the husband but totally ignored the bleeding wife.
Police later came and took both to their station. This man will definitely kill that woman one day if he is not stopped. According to the husband, she banged the door against him, despite warning her not to do that.”
