26 year old pregnant wife 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.
