Woman alleges brutal assault by husband
A Nigerian woman, Uthman Muneerah, has publicly cried out for help after she was allegedly battered by her husband, Jamiu Lamidi. In a Facebook post on Tuesday morning, June 30, 2026, she shared a video showing the weapon her husband used to assault her, accusing him of subjecting her to physical and emotional abuse, even shortly after giving birth.
Refusal to be silenced
Muneerah, a mother of one, declared that she will not end up like late gospel singer Osinachi and other women who died of domestic violence. She stated, "I can not be abused and be silenced. I will never be Osinachi and other women who d!ed of domestic violence." The latest incident, which occurred between 12:00 and 1:00 am, has left her feeling unsafe with nowhere to go with her child.
Call for accountability
She named her husband publicly, writing: "His name is Jamiu Lamidi. He works at TOTAL ENERGIES FUEL STATION Berger opposite FIRS FCT ABUJA. He abuse me physically and emotionally. Even when I gave birth newly, he abused me." She added, "Society/Culture has made marriage a do or die. I can no longer keep quiet." In a later update, Muneerah said she is now in a safe place.
