She showed her battered face, as she recounted how Pius, the father of their four children beats her up.
”Hello people, my name is Ifeyinwa. I am a doctor. I have been married to Pius Angbo of Channels TV for six years and for six years, I have not known peace in this marriage. It’s been from one woman to another.
“I just had baby. It was a Caeserian section just about 4 weeks ago.

“When I was pregnant with this child, when the pregnancy was three months, it was the same thing. He would sit on my stomach. hit me, try to strangle me and all that,” she claimed.
