A 45-year-old man identified as Mark Friday, has been arrested in
Calabar, the Cross River State, for allegedly beating his wife to a coma
for allegedly using the money meant for their children’s school fees to
invest in the MMM Ponzi scheme.
Inside Calabar reports that
Friday had given his wife, Ekamma, the sum of N280,000 to pay their
three children’s fees but seeing a quick opportunity to make fast money,
the woman invested all the money in the scheme without telling her
husband, hoping to pay up after collecting making the extra money.
But
the bubble burst with the freezing of the accounts of the scheme some
days ago. It also coincided with the school sending a letter to Friday
that his children would not be allowed to write their examinations if he
failed to pay their fees which were to balance up the part payment he
had earlier paid.
The report had it that when the surprised
Friday asked his wife why she had not paid the money he gave her some
weeks earlier, she opened up and confessed that she had invested the
money in MMM.
This was said to have angered Friday so much that
he locked the door to their apartment and descended on his wife, beating
her to a pulp before neighbours could force the door open and rescue
her.
Seeing the unconscious woman on the floor, a neighbor rushed
to a nearby police station and reported the case, leading to Friday’s
arrest.
