A woman simply identified as Modupe Alasin has died in Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State after she was mercilessly beaten by her husband for coming late to the farm.
According to a witness who pleaded anonymity, the woman screamed and begged for mercy as the husband flogged her repeatedly.
After a few minutes, the man ordered the woman to get water from the nearby stream but she slumped and died beside it as a result of weakness.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of Ekiti State Police Command, SP Sunday Abutu confirmed the incident, saying the husband had been arrested for further investigation.
