A man in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has been publicly accused of violently attacking his estranged wife at her place of business. The incident has sparked serious concerns for the woman's safety among local residents.
Alleged Attack Follows Separation Due to Abuse
The woman, identified only as Felicia, is said to have separated from her husband after enduring domestic violence. The couple, who share four children, both reside in Port Harcourt. According to accounts from concerned citizens, the estranged husband has reportedly vowed not to leave her in peace and continues to pursue her to inflict abuse.
Growing Fears for Victim's Safety
There is now a palpable fear within the community that the situation could escalate fatally if no action is taken. "He might kill her if care is not taken," is the shared apprehension among those familiar with the case. A photograph purportedly showing Felicia after a recent assault has been circulated online. The image depicts her with a bandage on her visibly swollen face and visible blood stains on her blouse, providing grim evidence of the alleged attack.
Calls for Official Intervention
Acquaintances and advocates are now urgently calling on relevant agencies and authorities to step in. They are pleading for help to save Felicia from the ongoing threat posed by her allegedly abusive estranged husband. The call highlights a critical need for protection mechanisms for survivors of domestic violence, even after they leave the relationship.
The case, brought to public attention on January 15, 2026, underscores the persistent and dangerous nature of intimate partner violence, which can follow victims into their workplaces and personal spaces long after separation.
