A middle aged man, Samuel Matthew, has reportedly ripped open his wife’s stomach and cut her intestines during a disagreement in Jos.
Metronetworknews gathered that the incident occurred on Sunday night along Vom Road in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
It learnt that Mr. Samuel fled with his wife’s phone so she cannot call for help after perpetrating the dastardly act.
It gathered that the 23-year-old mother of two, identified as Mercy Samuel was discovered and taken to Bingham University Teaching Hospital, Jos on Monday morning but died on wednesday.
The State Project Officer, Women’s Right Advancement and Protection Alternative, WRAPA, Jummai Madaki,explained: “There had been some violence against her in the past, as confirmed by her family but the husband’s family denied any violence.
“The man ripped open her tummy, removed her intestine and cut it before he disappeared with her phone, so she could not call for help.
“They live in a small apartment, so I wonder why no one heard her scream. We were told help did not come until the early hours of Monday, when she was rushed to the hospital and was placed on oxygen.
“An informant called my attention to the incident and we raise the alarm. Surprisingly, the matter was not reported to the Police.“
“We were told by her parents that even as recent as last year, she was home due to some issues but the husband’s people came to beg and she went back.”
