Nigerian Pastor beats pregnant wife to coma in Ilorin

A Nigerian Pastor and the General Overseer of the Victor's Church, Folayemi Richard, has reportedly beaten his pregnant wife to coma, three months after their marriage. According to reports, Folayemi beat up his wife over a little misunderstanding at their residence at Ita Olodan, Upper Gaa-Akanbi, Ilorin, Kwara state.

Narrating the story, his wife, Odunola says:

"Last year, September 26, we got married, and we've been living together as husband and wife. When our wedding was one month old, that was when a terrible crisis occurred. We had a disagreement. Suddenly, he ordered me to stand up and that he would take me to a hospital, where he would dump me.

He started insulting my parents, I cautioned him. He slapped me and began to beat me. He got a cable wire which we use for speakers in the church and beat me. I started shouting for help. I became so weak. I dashed out of the house; he followed me and started dragging me on the ground, saying he did not want the marriage again.

At this time, people had already gathered and were begging him. He locked me out and went to my parents. When he came back again, he ordered me to leave his home."

Odunola says she has reached out to the National Human Right Commission to help her seek justice. She also revealed that her personal belongings, certificates and other valuable items are still in her husband's house, because he has refused her from taking anything.
