A Police officer in Kaduna State has allegedly beaten his wife to pulp over N500.
According to a report by the Commissioner of Human Services and Social Development in Kaduna State, Hafsat M Baba, the officer has been reported to the appropriate authorities and actions will definitely be taken against him.
She wrote on social media:
I am getting very disturbed by the spate of violence meted against women by their “supposed” husband’s. This case is of one Sgt. Yusuf Bello of @PoliceNG
who beat his wife mercilessly over ₦500. Where does the love and respect go when they assume this beastly mode?
I have also noticed that the trend is getting especially more rampant with security operatives who are increasingly feeling above the law. I call on the heads of @PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy@NigAirForce@NigerianNavy@CustomsNGand other security agencies to step in.
We have reported the case of this violent policeman to the Ministry of Internal Security & Home Affairs led by @samuelaruwan, who we’re sure will expedite action. However, we need to begin a serious conversation with ourselves, why is there a seeming increase in marital violence?
