💔 Tragedy in Minna, Niger State
A heartbreaking incident occurred on June 4, 2025, in Minna, where a man allegedly beat his pregnant wife to death. 😔
According to locals, this wasn’t the first time — the man reportedly had a history of abuse. Despite repeated warnings from the community, nothing changed… until it was too late.
This sad event highlights the serious problem of domestic violence in Nigeria, where harmful cultural beliefs still make it hard for many women to get help. Even when victims speak up, justice is often delayed or denied. The Nigerian police have faced criticism for not doing enough in similar past cases.
Sadly, this is not an isolated case. Just a few months ago, in January, Sahara Reporters also covered another tragic event in Niger State — that time, a woman allegedly killed her husband. These repeated incidents show the deep gender-based issues that need urgent attention in our society.
💬 We must speak out. We must do better. Domestic violence is never okay — no matter who the victim is.
