A 65-year-old man has been arrested for chaining and starving his wife for one year in Potiskum, Nigeria, according to reports.
Images of the chained 40-year-old woman, who is a mother of four, went viral in the state, prompting residents and civil society groups to demand the immediate arrest of the suspect.
“The suspect chained his wife because she has some mental health issues,” according to him.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect only feeds his wife once every day.
The suspect was arrested following a tip-off from the Dabo-Aliyu stadium area, where the suspect and his victim live.
“The suspect would be charged to court after investigation,” reports said.
