A woman was allegedly beaten mercilessly by his husband who is a police officer in Kaduna State over N500.
The husband identified as Sergeant Yusuf Bello reportedly left his with a black eye after they had an argument over N500 note.
The Commissioner for Human Services and Social Development in Kaduna State, Hafsat Bala, shared the story online this evening, pledging that she will ensure that the officer is brought to book.
Her tweet reads ;
