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 over the presidential candidates in
Saturday’s general election at their home in Ejigbo on Sunday March
29th.
According to a report by Vanguard, the husband was supporting PDP
while Onyiyechi supported the APC. An arguement over who would win the
presidential election degenerated into a fight with the wife stabbing
her husband inside their one room apartment at the 81 military zone
junction in Ejigbo
A neighbor in their compound narrated what happened, He said;
“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 neighbor said.
The police arrested the suspect while further investigation into the
matter is ongoing as some 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.
