One Taofeek Gbolagade has
allegedly assaulted his pregnant wife over food.
Gbolagade, it was gathered,
had beaten his pregnant wife over Sahur, the pre-dawn meal usually taken by
Muslims in preparation for fasting during Ramadan.
It was gathered that the meal
was not prepared on time. Some people said that was not what made the man beat
his wife. The man reportedly beat the woman for over 30 minutes before she
managed to escape and leave the house.
The incident was said to have
been reported to the police by her family members, while the husband was also
said to have fled home.
One of the neighbours said the
man was fond of beating his wife over any little misunderstanding.
The neighbour said: “The
husband did not mind that the wife is pregnant. He reportedly beat her for
close to 30 minutes and was crying. She eventually escaped and fled to her
parents’ house.”
