She wrote on Twitter,

I am getting very disturbed by the spate of violence meted against women by their “supposed” husband’s. This case is of one Sgt. Yusuf Bello of @PoliceNG who beat his wife mercilessly over ₦500. Where do the love and respect go when they assume this beastly mode?

I have also noticed that the trend is getting especially more rampant with security operatives who are increasingly feeling above the law. I call on the heads of @PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy @NigAirForce @NigerianNavy, CustomsNG and other security agencies to step in.

We have reported the case of this violent policeman to the Ministry of Internal Security & Home Affairs led by @samuelaruwan , who we’re sure will expedite action. However, we need to begin a serious conversation with ourselves, why is there a seeming increase in marital violence?
