Man beats his wife with steering lock in Abia, breaking her bones

A Nigerian journalist, Anastasia Odochi Ozoemana has advised men to return their wives to their parents intact if they are no longer interested in the marriage instead of subjecting them to domestic abuse.

She gave the advice in a Facebook post on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, after a man allegedly used a steering lock to beat his wife, breaking her bones and causing her serious bodily harm in Aba, Abia State. 

According to Anastasia, the man also threw his wife’s belongings outside.

“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
