An Ebonyi man, Mr Onwe Nwogbagami, who had a practice of threatening his
wife, 25-years-old Blessing Onyibe Nwogbagami with a machete each time
they had a quarrel has had his life cut short by the spouse who could no
longer take the threats with wifely humility. Following the tragic
incident, the couple’s young baby would now grow up without knowing the
love of her parents if the mother is eventually convicted, jailed or
possibly hanged for the alleged crime...
According to the Ebonyi State Police Commissioner, Mr. Maigari Dikko,
Blessing came back, took the same machete and hacked Nwogbagami to death
as he lay sleeping.Dikko said she locked her husband’s corpse in the
house for two days and then fled to the village of her husband.When
Sunday Sun spoke with her at the headquarters of the Ebonyi State Police
Command, gave her account of the tragic incident. She said: “My
husband was fond of chasing me with cutlass whenever we have
misunderstanding. Whenever he brings out his cutlass, I will run out of
the house for him. On that particular day, October 13, 2014, I had a
misunderstanding with him and immediately he picked up his cutlass and
chased me out of the house. Later he went to an uncompleted building to
sleep.
“Then I said to myself before my husband will kill me, let me kill him
first. While he was asleep I went to where he kept his cutlass and
killed him. Then I ran to my husband’s village at Ntezi Nkaliki and told
the kinsmen that I killed my husband.”On hearing the report, the
villagers took her to the police station with her baby. Commenting on
the incident, the Assistant Commissioner of Police in-charge of the
State Criminal Investigation
Department, Mrs. Justina Ogbodo said Blessing would be charged to court
for murder. She also disclosed that Blessing’s baby would be handed
over to Social Welfare Department to be placed in foster care.
