A 48 years old man(name with held)has allegedly killed his wife for not being able to give birth to a male child.
The
deceased, 46, simply identified as Mama Feyi, was heavily pregnant when
she was allegedly stabbed to death by the husband during an early
morning dispute.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the alleged murderer
who hails from Abusoro area in Akure, Ondo State, has since been
arrested and is presently being detained at the Ala divisional police
station.
Eye witness accounts say the suspect has been having a
running battle with his deceased wife for over two years shortly after
the woman gave birth to their fourth daughter.
Sources say
trouble began a month ago before the brutal murder when the husband
complained aloud that his deceased wife is incapable of bearing him a
male child and the incident led to a fierce altercation between the
couple.
Shocked neighbours expressed disbelief at the death of
mama Feyi when one of their next door neighbour, Mr. Isijola, said he
was awakened by loud arguments coming from their room very early in the
morning.
“I ignored them as it is a norm for them to always argue
and have altercations. I decided to ignore them at first but when the
noise was getting unbearable, I stepped into their room only to find the
lifeless body of the woman on the floor, lying in the pool of her
blood. I saw the man holding a knife and he threatened to stab me if I
don’t leave.
Isijola continued, “It was when I discovered that he may abscond that I alerted the police who immediately came to arrest him.”
Naratting
the incident, daughter of the deceased, Feyisara, said, “It all started
on Sunday after my mummy. had cooked rice. She asked me to go and
collect money from my father to prepare stew and on getting to him, he
started shouting. But he later gave me N500 which my mum refused to
collect. They both argued and had a fight. I had to make a distress call
to neighbours to settle the dispute”.
Accor ding to the daughter
of the deceased, “the quarrel started at about 6am when my mum asked
him to give her some money for her ante-natal but he refused. They
started figh ting and before we knew it, daddy brought out a knife and
stabbed mummy to death.http://leadership.ng/news/250713/husband-stabs-wife-death-bearing-female-children#sthash.1efd0LH5.FM5oUqcC.dpuf
