Hun ‘wahala’ dey o ! A man from Ebonyi state, named locally as
James Uguru, has been arrested after beating his wife Jacint to death for her
alleged infidelity.
The murder of Jacint

Inyimaegu community, in the Izzi local government area of Ebonyi State.
Local police spokesman ASP
George Okafor revealed that Uguru had angrily beaten his wife into a stupor and
then death after the deceased stopped him from chasing after her alleged lover
boy.
Uguru, who lives and works

promiscuity after he heard rumors about her adultery making the rounds in the
community whenever he visited home to see his family.
After Uguru came back from
Lagos to visit, trouble started when the couple were having a discussion in
their sitting room when suddenly, a phone started to ring in their marital
bedroom.
The husband went to find
the phone but his wife then stopped him by holding on to his waist, preventing
him from moving.
Uguru is said to have
become furious after he was being prevented from entering the bedroom, and at
that moment, his wife’s alleged lover emerged from under the bed to make his
escape.
According to local reports,
his wife’s insistence that he should not chase after the man made him vent his
anger on her.
“He started punching the
woman, who eventually collapsed and was rushed to the hospital where she was
confirmed dead,”an eyewitness said.
According to the police
spokesman, Uguru has been arrested and charged however the woman’s lover
remains at large and is wanted by police.
