Outrage Grows as Nigerian Woman Assaulted After Rejecting Intimacy and Taking ₦800.

(Nigeria).

As it trends.

A Nigerian woman, Alhaja, was allegedly brutally beaten by her husband, an Islamic cleric, after refusing intimacy and later taking ₦800 (approximately $0.50 USD) from his bag for food without his knowledge, as there was nothing to eat.

A viral video, shared on X, by journalist Chucks Eriks, shows her severely bruised and swollen face, sparking widespread outrage and demands for justice.

While some argue that taking the money without permission played a role in the dispute, the core issue remains the alleged domestic violence, fueling concerns over women’s rights and marital abuse.

Many online users have condemned the attack, urging Alhaja to leave the marriage and seek legal protection.

The incident has reignited discussions on domestic violence laws, with advocates calling for stronger legal consequences against perpetrators.

Authorities have yet to confirm any legal action against the husband, but the case continues to generate national and international attention.

As she opened her Muslim veil, her face and eyes were severely swollen.

The case continues to spark outrage on social media.
