Homicide detectives from Ejigbo Police
Station have arrested a pregnant lady who stabbed her husband to death while
they were having argument over the likelihood of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan or
General Muhammadu Buhari winning the presidential polls.
It was gathered that the husband decided
to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while his wife, simply
identified as Onyiyechi, wanted to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shocked residents of Ejibgo, said
that they saw the couple, sitting outside and chatting amicably an hour before the
tragic incident. The argument started on Saturday, moments after the voters
started casting their votes.
An argument which started with the
couple stressing points against the other’s candidates, snowballed into a
fight.
It was alleged that the husband,
unmindful that his wife was pregnant, pounced on her. Immediately the lady had
a few minutes respite, she grabbed a kitchen knife and buried it into her
husband’s chest.
One of the neighbours who refused to
disclose his name, said: “ We were all outside waiting to vote when the woman
rushed out, shouting for help. When we got into the apartment, we discovered
blood everywhere. We saw that the blood was oozing from the man’s chest. He was
lying on the ground. He died before we could rush to hospital.”
The man opined that deceased might
have survived if only Onyiyechi had alerted neighbours on time.
He said: “It seems she only attempted
to manage the situation immediately the incident occurred. It was when she
discovered that the situation had overwhelmed her that she raised alarm.”
As of yesterday, the couple’s
apartment was locked up.
