A middle-aged man was beaten up by neighbours for allegedly prying on a couple as they lay in bed in Gwagwa, Abuja.

City News learnt that the man, a neighbour to the couple, was peeping through the bedroom window when he was sighted by the husband.

The source said the man, who initially did not take the act seriously, had to dash out of the house and catch the intruder when the peeping persisted.

“He raised alarm which attracted other neighbours who descended on the man and inflicted injuries on him” the source added.

City News however gathered that the man was later rescued and whisked away by the police who took him to the Kubwa General Hospital for medical attention.

The head, Accident and Emergency unit, Kubwa General Hospital, Paul Olise, said the injured man had been discharged from the hospital after receiving treatment.
