A
26 year old pregnant wife simply identified as Onyiyechi has been arrested by
the Lagos state police command for stabbing her husband to death following an
argument at their home in 81
military zone junctions in Ejigbo on Sunday
March 29th.
According to Vanguard newspaper, the husband was supporting PDP
while Onyiyechi supported the APC. An argument over who would win the
presidential election degenerated into a fight with the wife stabbing her
husband in the chest. Other version of the story
claims the couple got into a fight following a disagreement they had after
Onyiyechi decided to grate Okro she was to use in preparing their meal inside
their one room apartment. Her husband is reported to have instructed her to
take it out but she refused which sparked a quarrel and then a fight between them.
A neighbour in
their compound narrated thus......
"We were all
outside waiting to vote when Onyiyechi rushed out, shouting for help. Out of
curiosity, we all ran inside, only to discover blood all over the ground, on
entering their apartment. On closer observation, we noticed that the blood was
from her husband chest region. We met him on the ground. Before we could rush
him to the hospital, he gave up the ghost. Perhaps, he would have survived the
attack had Onyiyechi called for help early. From all indication, it was clear
that she attempted to manage the situation immediately the incident occurred.
It was when she discovered that the situation had overwhelmed her that she
raised alarm. I do not know the name of her husband. We only know that of his
wife, who we fondly call Onyiyechi. The irony of this matter is that she is not
cantankerous. She has never beaten a little child, let alone to fight with any
neighbor. Again on that day, we saw both of them together. They were seen
sitting outside, one hour before the incident occurred. Policemen from Ejigbo later
came to remove the corpse to the Isolo morgue” the anonymous neighbour said.
The
police arrested the suspect while further investigation into the matter is
ongoing .
