A disturbing case of domestic violence recently occurred in Aba, Abia State, where a man reportedly attacked his wife with a steering lock. The brutal assault left her with broken bones and serious injuries.

Adding to the cruelty, the man allegedly threw his wife’s belongings outside after the attack. This act of aggression has sparked outrage, with many calling for justice for the victim.

Anastasia Odochi Ozoemana, a Nigerian journalist, responded to the incident in a Facebook post on December 17, 2024. She advised men who no longer wish to stay married to return their wives to their parents peacefully instead of resorting to violence. Anastasia emphasized the need for mutual respect and an end to abusive relationships.

This heartbreaking incident highlights the urgent need to address domestic violence in society. Victims deserve protection, justice, and support, while offenders must be held accountable for their actions.

“Earlier today, our receptionist said someone with a bandaged hand wanted to see me . It didn’t make sense because I was not expecting any accident victim,” she wrote. 

With a lot of curiosity and confusion, I asked her in. Goodness gracious! She told me it was her husband who hit her with a Steering lock. In fact , he targeted her head but she used her hand as cover. Her bones cracked. If not the hand she used as shield, she probably would have been in a mortuary by now. Now , he did not stop there. 

He threw her things out ( as seen in the picture attached) For God sake , if you don’t want a woman . Why not return her intact to her parents ?? 

Why are some men just wicked and heartless ? The mother of your three kids ??? Jeeez. STOP GENDER BASED VIOLENCE
