Man Assaults Wife, Blinds Both Eyes In Lagos

A man was arrested by the Lagos police at the Ikotun division and charged before an Ejigbo Magistrates’ court for allegedly assaulting his wife, resulting in blindness in both eyes.

According to PM News, the suspect, Paul Uduozor, allegedly battered his wife, Faith, and in the process, the victim’s eyes’ lenses were damaged and she can no longer see with both eyes.

The incident, which happened at the couple’s residence in the Ikotun area of Lagos, was reported to the police and Paul was arrested and charged to court for the alleged offence.

He was charged with causing permanent defect to Faith’s eyes and assault under the Criminal Code.

He pleaded not guilty and the prosecutor, Mr Femi Adeleye, objected to his bail on the ground that Faith will be undergoing operation which could result in more complications.

He prayed the court to remand Uduozor in prison custody pending the outcome of the operation.

However, the presiding Magistrate, Mr A. A. Fashola granted him bail in the sum of N250,000 with two sureties in like sum.

Uduozor was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending when he will perfect his bail.

The victim was reportedly battered a few months ago and she fainted and was taken to a hospital where she was revived.

During the latest assault, it was learnt that Uduozor gave Faith several severe blows and some landed on her eyes which caused the damage to the eyes.

  • Ok where re dose mothers saying stay n pray in an abusive home where una dey? Women don’t die in an abusive home marriage no be by force

    • Don’t mind them, even when God is screaming for you to take cover,they will still mumulishly stay,forcing God to do their will,not his

  • Just imagine this rubbish? He better pray she doesn’t go permanently blind. The he will realise the enormity of foolish act.

  • Okay, after she was battered last time&she fainted she stl went back probably to be murdered that means she was lucky to get only blinded . that aside I wonder y all these magistrates give bail to these monsters who molest/ abuse kids&women

  • All in the name of being ‘MRS’ that’s why you will allow your fellow human being cut your life short. SMH seriously annoyed.

  • If u advise a woman in a violent relationship to run for her life,she will say no for d sake of the kids or she is praying n God will change him.Thank God he didn’t kill her but her life will be useless without her eyes

  • Nawa what kind of life is dis I just pray d wife’s operation will be successful

  • I’m passing through similar case.Mine is my two front teeth. Dey r useless 4 now, can’t do anything wit dem. Ppl kip telling u don’t leave cos of ur child. The previous assault he strangled me n denied it till this moment. Well I’m in a safer place, wants to be alive to take care of my child.

    • Please just hold on to wherever you are and pray until God answers your innermost desire. Sorry

  • I am even so pissed at the woman. After she was battered the last time and even fainted and all that, she still went back. She will still go back if her eyes r fixed and the man will finally kill her. I don’t even know why the man was granted bail. It’s jail for life

  • When they tell women to leave abusive homes, they say they want to pray. I hope this will as an example to other women

  • When they tell them to leave abusive men they would still want to stay and try to make the marriage work….it’s sad that this keeps happening

  • that’s what happens to women who don’t use their head.we tell dem run away from abusive relationships dey say no.they don’t want to cos of their kids or they say its love.

  • I went through same abuse in the hands of my hubby, when I decided enough is enough, I packed out of his house but he denied me access to my kids, took him to court but he is using money against me. Despite the pains of not having access to the kids, I’m happy for being alive and safe, its a matter of time my kids will come back to me. To those who says I’m wicked for leaving, please wear my shoes and see.

  • most husband nowadays are abusive though, i don’t support domestic violence, but there’s something about her attitude, maybe stubbornness or she is disrespecting her husband….women are weaker vessel, as a woman if u notice that the quarrel will lead to fight, just ignore and walk away, now she is diable

  • What on earth will let a man beats his wife to this point? Was there love from the onset? I don’t believe because if this is somebody he loves so much he will not like to see her cry not talk of making her pass through pains.
    May God have mercy on this type of people.God will help you all through the operation and it will be successful.Amen. For others passing through this please find your way before you are found in the grave and your parents and siblings will miss you.
