The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has vowed to take swift action after a disturbing video of lawyer Opeyemi Mabawonku allegedly assaulting his wife verbally and physically.
The CCTV footage, dated October 27, 2024, shows Mabawonku,
who is believed to be a manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), in a heated
argument with his wife Abiola over suspected infidelity.
The video captures Mabawonku shouting, throwing
objects, and threatening to smash Abiola with a flower vase.
“I showed you the message and told you there was nothing between both of us. Are you unfortunate? I am warning you,” he yelled in the video.
“If you do not call
anybody you are a bastard. Are you crazy? Do you want me to lose my job?”
Abiola, on the other hand, appeals to her husband to
restrain himself, warning him not to hit her in front of their children.
“Be careful. You know the children are here. Whatever you do
here the children are watching. Do not touch me. I will call my dad. I want to
make you lose your job. Or it is the consequences of your immoral attitude?”
she said.
The incident has sparked outrage, with many users calling
for accountability and support for Abiola.
