Narrating her suffering in the hands of her husband in the past 14 years, the victim, Kafiat, a native of Ibadan said this is how he has been beating me for years unprovoked. Even when I am pregnant he beats me up.” 

According to Kafiat what happened today (Thursday) was that I was washing clothes around 11 am when my husband came back, and he said he will beat me to death. Before I knew what was happening he used wood and iron to hit me in my eye. Even when I was bleeding, he kept hitting me.”

Explaining further, Kafiat said he has not paid my dowry, we have been together for over fourteen years and have four children. It is only my grandmother that was aware of the marriage, my parents were not. It was after I gave birth to my first child I went to see my father,  that was before he passed on.”

“My husband is an Egun man from Cotonou. He works as a carpenter and works in the Mushin area of Lagos.
