Man Beat wife Because She Woke Him Up for Snoring



Man-beats-up-woman-NANA 30-year-old, commercial motorcyclist, Tukur on Friday beat his wife, Jennifer to stupor for accusing him of snoring.

It was the intervention by neighbours and passers-by that saved her from further attack.

One of the neigbhours Lawrence, who witnessed the fight, told our correspondent that the couple who resides at Masaka, Nasarawa State, were fond of constituting nuisance to the environment through constant query.

According to him, it all started at about 9 p.m. on Thursday when neighbours ran outside at the shout of the wife who was seriously beaten by her husband.

“How on earth in this present modern world will a man beat up his wife over trivial issue? We learnt that the wife preventing the husband from sleeping just because he was snoring,” Lawrence said.

He said that so many cases of divorce in the society could be prevented, if minor issues like this are promptly settled by couples.

“This is not a case of extra-marital affairs that usually lead to divorce, but a mere misunderstanding that could be controlled with little patience,’’ he said.

However, the husband said his wife prompted him to beat her after several warnings.

“She prevented me from sleeping after having a hard day, I pleaded with her but refused,” he said.

Paul said having gone through a hectic day, that he decided to have some rest but was prevented by his wife because he was snoring.

“What happened, I will say is the devil’s handiwork? I lost my motor bike which has been helping me to fend for the family.

“I immediately contacted the police who was able to help me get it back. I brought it back home and all these while my wife could not call to know where I was. I got home only for me to have some rest and after dozing off; my wife woke me up to tell me I was disturbing her with my snoring,” he said.

Paul who later apologised to his wife thanked the neighbours for the brotherly love they have extended to his family.

The wife told our correspondent that the incident was due to communication gap, which was misinterpreted.

“I was angry because the husband left me and the children without telling us where he went.”

The couple had been living together for past nine years and the union is blessed with three children.

Is well with our soul.
