Nigerian Man Beats His Wife To Stupor Because Of His Girlfriend (Photos)

Beatrice Mbari, a mother of five, has demanded justice after alleging that her husband beat her mercilessly after an argument with his lover in the Bundu Ama neighbourhood of Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.

The upset woman told The Punch in Port Harcourt that the man had punched her so many times that she could not see with her eyes.

According to Mrs. Mbari, issues began when her son challenged Helen, her husband’s purported girlfriend, who then informed her husband about the altercation.

Beatrice claimed her husband allegedly dragged her around the kitchen after he got home, beat her ruthlessly, and then tossed her out of the house.

She revealed that this is not the first time she was beaten and assaulted because of his lover.

She said, “My husband beat me and damaged my face. He punched me in the eye. I can’t even see clearly. He dragged me in the kitchen and said he will kill me and nothing will happen.

“I was pleading with him to leave me. I asked him what I did. It was one of my neighbour that came to rescue me. He even drove her away. He stripped me and threw me outside. Since then, I and my children have been managing with my elder sister. That was why I arrested him yesterday.

“I asked his girlfriend, Helen, why she told my husband what my son said about his father. I don’t know what the girlfriend told him. Because when he returned from her house, he started beating me. Helen is the reason my husband wants to kill me and my children, so that she will control the family.”

She said that the incident was reported to the Central Police Station at the historic township of Port Harcourt and that her husband had been taken into custody.

Beatrice pleaded with the International Federation of Women Lawyers to step in and save her life since both of her eyes were clearly swollen and she also had bruises all over her body, including below her eyes and ears.

She said, “I want FIDA to come and help me so that this thing will not happen again. Then let him take care of his children. I don’t want to stay with him, because he will kill me one day. I also thank the police that helped me to arrest him.”
