A middle aged man popularly known as oga Mike who hails from izamgbo in ebonyi state but resides at the Ugbo paul a suburb off abakpa nike area of Enugu on Sunday battered his wife with a long stick until the lady slumped and went into coma.
According to an eye witness account, trouble started when Mike a popular generator mechanic in the neighbourhood came back Sunday afternoon from their town union meeting only to find his wife, two children and some neighbours watching home video in his one room apartment with his generator powered on.
He immediately went behind the house to switch off the generator and demanded to know why his wife should power the generator by that time of the day when he bought fuel at an expensive price of 200 naira a litre.
The woman tried effortlessly to explain to the man that the weather was too hot and at such was impossible to stay inside their one room apartment under such intense sun.
It was at that point that the man picked a long stick lying close to the passage way of the compound and started hitting the woman mercilessly all over her body.
Efforts made by neighbours to stop him proved abortive until the woman collapsed.
