One Malam Jamilu of
Marmaran garo, Gidan Haki in Sokoto north local government area has been
arrested for allegedly beating his 8-month pregnant wife, Suwaiba to the
state of comma.
Jamilu was said to
have beaten the mother of his two kids, now carrying their third child
with a hammer, inflicting a serious body injury on her.
The suspect however,
confessed committing the offence which he attributed to the work of a
devil.
He also promised not
to do it again, just as he pleaded for mercy and forgiveness.
According to Daily
Trust, Suwaiba is still recuperating in
an undisclosed hospital in the state metropolis.
Speaking to Daily
Trust, the Commander, Sokoto state Hisbah Commissioner, Dr. Adamu Kasarawa
said the suspect was arrested following a report from a Good Samaritan.
He explained that the
incidence followed a mild misunderstanding between the couple.
Kasarawa who confirmed
that the suspect used a hammer in beating his wife said by the time his
men visited their place, the wife was already unconscious with blood
gushing out from her mouth.
"We rushed her to
the hospital where she had been in comma for almost six days before she
was revived," he said.
He described Jamilu's
action as inhuman and against the Shari'ah law, assuring that he would be
prosecuted after their investigation.
“We were told that
this was not the first time he was beating her," he added.
He called on couples
to always treat each other with respect and patience.
