A tragic incident was occurred on Tuesday morning, February 20, in Ebonyi State, as a middle-aged pregnant housewife pushed her husband to death from a two-storey building.
The victim, Nwoga Maduabuchi, from Akparata village, Igbeagu community in the Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, was married to the suspect, his second wife, from Uburu community in the Ohaozara Local Government Area and lived in Abakaliki, the state capital.
According to sources, the victim was arguing with his second wife over a family issue when she reportedly pushed him, leading to his death.
The suspect, who was heavily pregnant, had been intermittently having quarrels with her late husband, and was constantly nagging, according to another source.
A security officer who spoke on condition of anonymity described the incident as the height of wickedness, stating that the man was just a victim of domestic violence.
“The man is just a victim of domestic violence. He had two wives. The first wife is from Izzi Local Government Area; while the second wife is from Uburu, in the Ohaozara Local Government Area of the state. It was a family matter. But the second became so enraged over the matter and acted the way she did, by pushing her husband down from the two-storey building. That’s the height of it. That’s the height of wickedness.” Security officer said.
