….a Sad Marital Abuse Coming From Nnewi
On the late hours of the 2nd of March, 2023, the family of late Mr Nathaniel Uzuegbunam in Obiuno community in Otolo, Nnewi received a very sad and heartbreaking news about the death of their daughter, Mrs Ebere Obiora (Nne Uzuegbunam), who was later discovered to have been strangled to death by her husband, Mr Ikechukwu Obiora from Ezi-Ogwugwu community, also in Otolo, Nnewi.
The news came as a shock to the family, as they have no idea of their daughter having issues with her husband since she got married in August, 2022.
The evening of that 2nd of March, around 7pm, the mother of the murderer (the husband) called the family of the deceased and told them that their daughter slumped and was looking dead, saying that they should come around quickly. On getting there, they were told to come to Nnewi Diocesan Hospital (Akwudo) where she was taken to.
When the family got to Akwudo, the Doctor on duty confirmed that their daughter has passed on.
Trying to clear all doubts, she was again taken to St. Felix Okolo hospital,where it was also confirmed that their daughter was dead.
Her remains was now taken to Akwudo mortuary where it was deposited for embalming.
Out of doubt that their daughter cannot just slump and die, and considering how pale the body was looking, showing that she must have died a long time ago and not that evening, and also the fact that her tongue was outside her mouth as a sign of someone who was strangled , the family of the deceased immediately reached out to the husband for more explanations.
When the husband, Mr Ikechukwu Obiora was reached, he initially denied saying that his wife only slumped and died, but could not give reasonable and convincing explanations on how it happened.
When asked why he did not call his inlaws to tell them what happened to their daughter, until his mother had to call, he didn’t also give any reasonable excuse.
He was immediately arrested by Policemen and taken to Otolo Police station for more interrogations. He finally admitted that he was the one that actually strangled his wife to death because the family of her wife insisted on carrying out an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
The husband confessed to have killed the wife, what a sad news
Necessary legal steps are being taken currently to bring the murderer to book. He will definitely face the consequences of his actions.
