Nigerians on social media have slammed Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State for facilitating the reconciliation between Channels TV reporter, Pius Angbo, and his wife, Ifeanyiwa.
The wife had shared a video on social media that showed the bruises on her face which she sustained as a result of domestic violence from her husband.
Ortom who reacted to the incident brought the couple together for reconciliation at a press conference in Benue.
This didn’t sit well with some Nigerians who feared for the life of the wife despite the reconciliation with her husband.
