Man allegedly attacks wife with machete in Ekiti, claims phone hit was accidental
Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State—Francis Adewunmi, a middle-aged man, has been accused of attacking his wife with a machete, resulting in a head injury. The incident reportedly took place before he fled the scene.
The victim, who resides in Ado-Ekiti, stated that her husband, who lives in Lagos State, had traveled to the capital prior to the attack. She recounted that the conflict arose when Adewunmi accused her of infidelity, a claim she strongly disputes.
In her account, the woman disclosed that Adewunmi has allegedly threatened her life for 17 years, expressing concern over a prolonged pattern of intimidation that she believes culminated in this recent incident. She has called for justice and urged authorities to thoroughly investigate the attack and the threats she has faced.
Adewunmi, when reached for comment, offered a differing narrative. He claimed the injury occurred accidentally when he struck his wife with a mobile phone during an argument.
These contrasting versions of events have raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the woman’s injury as she continues to seek accountability for the alleged assault.
