A Nigerian man, Salami Olajide a.k.a Stubborn has been accused of beating his wife and mother of his three children, Salami Ruth to coma and trying to force deadly insecticide, sniper down her throat for trying to quit their marriage of 6 years.

The incident reportedly occurred at the couple’s apartment at Ijede Road in Ikorodu on Saturday, March 7. Ruth, 33, who is nursing a six-month-old baby, was taken to Ajayi Hospital within the community where she is receiving treatment.

The couple’s landlord, Alhaji Lawal Tanimola confirmed the incident, saying the assault was so brutal that he had to discontinue his prayer and mobilise other tenants to force their door open to rescue the victim whose call for help was too consistent to be ignored.

He revealed that in their nearly-two-years’ stay in his house, the couple has never gone a week without fighting.
