Vanguardngr reports that Iniubong was accused of stealing some of the money sprayed on the couple during their marriage which took place on November 3, 2018 in Usenten, Akwa Ibom State.
The victim alleged that she was taken to the community square at the prompting of the Council lawmaker, stripped naked, tied a rope around her waist, battered her with sticks and stones and paraded round the village.
