A man, Taofeek Gbolagade has reportedly beaten his pregnant wife to a stupor for failing to cook a Ramadan meal for him.

According to Vanguard, the incident occurred around 4a.m at their residence in Ogbere housing estate in Ibadan, Oyo State.

An eyewitness told the publication that Gbolagade often beat his wife at every opportunity he gets. He explained that irrespective of the fact that she was pregnant with their second child the man still continued assaulting her.

The witness said: “This man always beats his wife over any little misunderstanding they have. I was able to record today’s event. He is a Muslim so I think they had an argument over Sahur.
