The wife of a lecturer at Babcock University, Dr Seun Ebiesuwa, has accused her husband of physically assaulting her during a disagreement over their children.
The woman made the allegation in a video, claiming that the incident occurred after Ebiesuwa allegedly took their children from her father’s residence.
According to her account, she went to confront her husband after learning that he had taken the children and met him packing their belongings.
She alleged that an argument ensued between them, during which Ebiesuwa moved towards her.
The woman said she asked him to keep his distance and pushed him, after which she alleged that he grabbed her and punched her in the face.
“Then he grabbed me, and then I tried to fight him off, and then he threw a punch. He threw a punch on my face,” she said.
She further alleged that the lecturer continued hitting her during the confrontation.
The woman claimed that the assault stopped after her brothers intervened, adding that they removed Ebiesuwa from the house.
“He kept throwing punches until my brothers came through, intervened and sent him out of the house,” she alleged.
The allegations come amid what the woman described as a dispute between the couple over the custody and welfare of their children.
The claims had not been independently verified from the lecturer or other parties as of the time of the report.
