It was learnt that the man allegedly got home that night, demanded for the woman’s debit card which she refused to part with and a fight ensued between them.
A source said;
“Some said the man kicked her in the abdomen region and she fell. But others said he used a hard object to hit her and she suddenly collapsed and gave up the ghost immediately,”
“Sensing that the woman had passed on we heard the man ran. We are not sure they are married. They have been cohabiting. She doesn’t have a child for him. But we think she has had children in other relationships. She is not a young girl. She is a woman “.
He thanked Eye Foundation Hospital Group for the support given to the project and called on other private organisations, NGOs and development partners to collaborate with government in these laudable efforts to curb diabetic retinopathy.
