A man in the Sapele community in Sapele Municipality, Delta state, reportedly beat his pregnant wife, Beatrice, to death.
According to Punch, the incident happened Friday night near a new generation church, Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries, on New Road, Awolowo Road Extension, in Sapele.
It has been established that the man popularly known as M.O.B. was seen interrogating his wife about why she had left home to attend church without completing the necessary chores and making arrangements for his dinner.
