[WATCH] Nigerian Social Media Erupts Over Viral Video of PwC Lawyer, Mabawonku Allegedly Assaulting Wife In Front Of Their Children

A video showing Nigerian lawyer Opeyemi Mabawonku, an employee of PwC, allegedly assaulting his wife, Abiola, has sparked widespread outrage on social media. In the video, Mabawonku is seen violently attacking Abiola, a former HR lead at Paystack, in the presence of their two young daughters. The incident has ignited heated discussions online, with viewers condemning the abuse and calling attention to the dangers of domestic violence.
The disturbing footage has generated widespread shock and empathy, with many urging Abiola to prioritize her safety and that of her children. Social media user Oluwafunmilayo emphasized the importance of family support, noting Abiola’s repeated calls to her father for help during the incident. Others highlighted the video’s audio, which could potentially counter any claims of provocation, strengthening calls for accountability.
The viral reaction reflects deep concerns about societal expectations that pressure women to endure abusive relationships. Comments such as “some family members would still be begging the woman to stay with the man” underscore the challenges women face in leaving unsafe environments. Many users urged Abiola to seek safety immediately, with comments like “No woman deserves to go through this trauma” and “Thank God he has been exposed.”
As calls for action and support grow, the incident has sparked further conversations about the prevalence of domestic violence in Nigeria, with many hoping this exposure will lead to stronger protections for victims and encourage those in similar situations to seek help.
