Wife stabs husband to death

A young couple’s union has ended tragically in Ondo, south west Nigeria with a 16-year-old wife stabbing her husband to death during an argument. The housewife and mother of two, Ebere Ogu stabbed her husband, Chinedu Patrick Ogu, 31, in the stomach during a squabble, which broke out over the proposed visit of the husband’s mother from the village.

The wife, it was learnt, had kicked against her husband’s move to invite his mother to Akure from his village in Imo State. The husband too was said to have insisted that his mother must be in Akure for medical treatment.
Ebere, it was further gathered, abandoned her bleeding husband and ran away with her two kids to an unknown destination after stabbing him in the stomach, leaving the knife stuck in his stomach
A co-tenant who sought for anonymity said he had resolved disagreements involving the couple times on end before the last one that claimed the husband’s life.
According to the co-tenant whose room is next to the couple’s, the husband and wife had been quarrelling over Patrick’s decision to invite his mother from the village to Akure for medical treatment, but Ebere maintained he would not have his way.
The incident, it was gathered, was later reported at the police station while the police and some residents of the area were said to have made futile efforts to track the fleeing wife.
The husband, it was learnt, was rushed to the Ondo State Specialist Hospital where doctors confirmed him dead.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Wole Ogodo,  (ASP) who confirmed the report, described it as pathetic and unfortunate.
Ogodo said it was the landlord who reported the incident to the police, adding that the police had since stepped into the matter.
He said the policemen dispatched to the scene found the victim dead, saying he died from the knife injury inflicted on him by his wife.
