allegedly stabbed her husband to death in the Azikoro suburb of
Yenagoa the state capital.
The woman identified as Osas Omorege according to eyewitnesses stabbed
her spouse, Chukwuma Iwu over alleged marital squabbles.
It was gathered that trouble started when the wife of the deceased
suspected he was having extra marital affairs due to his alleged late
night outings.
The tragic incident which threw the rustic Azikoro settlement into
mourning occurred last Friday when the deceased reportedly received a
phone call which the wife suspected was from one of his lovers.
The wife's suspicion and anger over the phone call the source said,
might have been fuelled by his alleged absence from home for two days.
"After returning late to his matrimonial home he received a phone call
which the wife suspected was coming from his girlfriend and attempted
to stop him from answering it", the source added.
Consequently, a scuffle ensued and the deceased ordered his wife to
move out of the house with her belongings, the source further said.
Angered by the wife's refusal to comply with his order the deceased
was said to have reached for a kitchen knife ostensibly to frighten
her but she was adamant.
Immediately he dropped the knife, the wife was said to have picked the
said knife and stabbed the husband on the chest.
The loud cry of the husband for help attracted neighbours who rushed
to the scene and took him to the health facility in the community
where he was confirmed dead.
The woman it was learnt turned in herself to the police where she is
currently in detention and assisting them in their investigation into
the matter.
Contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Fidelis Odunna
(DSP) confirmed the incident saying the woman voluntarily gave up
herself to the police. He said she would be charged to court for
murder.
