A Jos man, Samson Wassa, has reportedly bëaten his wife, Janet, to deãth over a marital issue.

Neighbors and relatives then turned on him and bēat him till he was in a coma.
The corpse of Janet has been deposited at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH ) mortuary, Samson was taken to another hospital where he is reported to have woken from the coma, while the case has been reported to the Nasarawa Police Station, Jos.
