Pregnant wife beaten to unconsciousness
The victim recounted how her husband turned violent when she asked for her money back.
“He locked the door and used a thick electric cable wire to flog me mercilessly.”
“He struck my neck so hard that I fainted. A neighbor tried to intervene, but my husband chased him away, saying it was none of his business,” She added.
Bruised and traumatized, the woman stated that she sustained visible injuries, including reddened eyes from the cable strikes.
Despite her condition, her husband however denied all allegations before an Upper Sharia Court in Danbare, Kano.
Wife refuses reconciliation
When asked if she would forgive him, the woman was resolute.
“A man who beats his wife has no empathy. If I go back, the next attack could be worse. This isn’t the first or second time he’s beaten me, there is no love left.”
The wife’s father also confirmed her suffering, revealing that he had previously urged her to return to her marital home, but she refused due to repeated abuse.

“We only found out about this incident after neighbors rushed her to the hospital,” he said, while expressing frustration over poor treatment at Bachirawa Police Station.
The court has however adjourned the case to May 21, 2025, for additional witnesses.
Meanwhile, the plaintiff’s attorney admitted that the husband had neglected his wife’s medical bills, leaving her parents to cover the costs.
The court has suggested filing separate cases to address the financial neglect and ongoing abuse.
