A pregnant mother of eight children,
identified simply as Dada, has been arrested for stabbing her husband,
Jonathan, to death in the Otomi community, Uwheru, in the Ughelli Local
Government Area of the Delta State.
It was gathered that the suspect returned
late from work on Monday, April 5, 2021, when an argument ensued between her
and her husband.
It was learnt that the argument degenerated
into a fight and the woman allegedly stabbed the deceased with a knife.
An eyewitness, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said the deceased had warned the woman against coming home late.
The eyewitness stated, “The wife used to
come home late from work and the husband had warned her to stop. On the date of
the incident, the wife came home late as usual and the husband accused her of
flouting his instructions.
“They started arguing on the matter, but
all of a sudden, the wife took a knife and started chasing the husband till she
stabbed him to death.”
When contacted, the acting Police Public
Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
“The command is aware of the matter and the
woman was arrested by policemen from the Ughelli Police Station and the matter
was transferred to the state CID today (Wednesday),” he said.
