Man beats up, stabs corps member wife

A 30-year-old corps member and housewife, Funmilayo (pseudonym) has been battered by her husband, identified only as Bade, who also allegedly poked his finger into her eye during a disagreement at their home in the Surulere area of Lagos State.

Bade was also alleged to have stabbed her in the face with a broken glass and rained blows into her head and face.
She was rushed to a health centre in the area before being taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
Policemen from the Surulere division were said to have arrested and detained Bade, after which he was released on bail.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the drama happened last Monday at the couple’s residence in the Kilo area of Surulere.
Funmilayo, an Insurance graduate, said she had followed her husband to his parent’s house on the day, and they had returned around 8pm.
She said, “Immediately we got home, he said he wanted to go for a meeting somewhere and I told him to return as early as possible before they shut the street gate at 10pm.
“When it was 11pm, I called him, but he didn’t pick his calls. He also did not respond to a Whatsapp message I sent around that time. He later picked his call and I warned him that if he returned too late I would not rise up from bed to open the gate for him.
