According to her, when she collapsed, her husband kept torturing, brutalising her with a cable wire and even when a neighbour came to mediate for her, the elderly woman was overpowered and pushed aside.

Odunola disclosed that she had been experiencing marital turbulence since their marriage in late September 2020, adding that the man had once beaten her till she became unconscious.

“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.

“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,” she narrated.

An eyewitness, Victoria Oluwaseun, who confirmed the assault said the pastor dragged his wife out and was beating her without considering the pregnancy.

The woman also alleged that her husband had denied her access to move her belongings from the house, stating that her certificates and other valuables are still in the house.

Odunola, who has complained to the National Human Right Commission to seek justice over the matter is appealing to the state Ministry of Women Affairs to come to her aid as she could no longer cope with the pains and assault in her marriage.
