In a case from Nguru town, Yobe State, a woman named Sadiya was rescued after allegedly being locked up and starved by her husband, Ibrahim Yunusa Bature, for a whole year.
According to reports, Sadiya—a mother of four—was only given kunu, a local millet drink, to survive on. Her husband claimed he was protecting her from harm he believed would come through food, supposedly from his family members.
It was Sadiya’s mother, Hadiza, who sensed something was wrong. After noticing her daughter’s weak voice during a phone call, she traveled all the way from Kano to check on her. What she found was heartbreaking—Sadiya was barely alive and could hardly walk.
She was immediately rushed to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano, where she’s now receiving treatment. Her mother is now demanding justice and wants her son-in-law to be held accountable for his actions.
It's a deeply disturbing case that has left many Nigerians in shock, raising urgent questions about domestic abuse, mental health, and the need for better protection for vulnerable women.
