A housewife, identified as Mrs. Ogenyi has been beaten to stupor by her angry husband for investing the
family’s saving in Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, otherwise known as MMM.
According to Daily Post, the problem ensued between the couple, who
resides on Balogun Street, Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos Sunday afternoon,
after the husband returned from a trip to his hometown in Benue and
discovered that the family saving box was missing.
On inquiry from his son, Oche, the father was informed that the mother went out with her friend around 4pm and had not returned.
The husband who works as a driver with one of the commercial
transport companies later found the saving box broken and empty in the
wardrobe.
A co-tenant revealed that on her return, the woman was shocked to
see the husband as he was not expected home until month end due to the
nature of his job.
According to the eyewitness, the husband inquired to know who broke
the saving box but the wife could not give him any satisfactory answer.
“When the husband threatened to beat the wife if she fails to
tell him who broke the box, she accepted breaking the box and investing
the money into MMM. She thought she could get 30 per cent of her income
and replace the money before the husband could return,” the source said.
The source said the husband had saved the money, over N86, 000, for their new accommodation.
Angered by her action, the husband descended on the wife in commando style, beating her blue black.
All her efforts to explain to the husband that the money would
yield income in the next 30 days fell on deaf ears as the husband
insisted she must cough out the money before morning.
The man, who locked the door of their one room apartment to prevent
sympatisers from rescuing the helpless woman eventually hit the woman
with breakable plate and she collapsed.
The source said on realizing his wife was unconscious, he quickly
ran out of the room, living the woman and their three-year-old son and
fled to unknown destination.
The neighbours took her to the hospital where she is currently battling for her life.
Daily Post reports that the Lagos State PPRO, Dolapo Badmus, was
contacetd for her reaction, however, she has not responded to a text
message as the time of filing this report.
