A 40-year-old Ebonyi man, identified as Joshua Nwafor, has allegedly killed his wife, Charity, over a tuber of yam in Nsokkara, Ezza South Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the
incident occurred in the couple’s home, where they had lived peacefully for 17
years.
An eyewitness told newsmen that
trouble started when Joshua brought out yam to cook for the family, but the
wife insisted on having roasted yam instead and went ahead to roast it.
This disagreement escalated
when Joshua became angry, dragged his wife into the room, locked the door, and
beat her until she died.
Confirming the incident, the
Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, condemned the
tragic incident, assuring that a thorough investigation would be conducted and
the suspect would be charged to court.
