A pregnant woman identified as Onyinyechi, yesterday stabbed her partner to death in Ejigbo, a suburb of Lagos State, over an argument that allegedly bothered on difference in choice of candidate in Saturday’s presidential election.
Although the reason as to why pregnant Onyinyechi stabbed her partner in the chest remain conflicting as some reports claims the woman stabbed him for refusing to support the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).
A co-tenant who pleaded anonymity had this to say:
“We were outside preparing to go and cast our votes when the couple started shouting at each other. While the wife was shouting that Buhari was the man to beat, her husband was shouting that Goodluck Jonathan was the man. We thought it was an ordinary argument until we stopped hearing their voices. We thought they had stopped the argument until the wife ran outside, seeking for assistance. She was saying that her husband was dead.Another neighbour told Crime Watch Today that,
“We did not understand how someone we just heard his voice would just die until we rushed inside his room and he was in the pool of his blood. It was at that time that the wife said she allegedly killed him with a kitchen knife”
“We were all outside waiting to vote when Onyinyechi rushed out, shouting for help. Out of curiosity, we all ran inside, only to discover blood all over the ground, on entering their apartment and on a closer observation, we noticed that the blood was from her husband’s chest region. We met him on the ground. Before we could rush him to the hospital, he gave up the ghost.While another report claims, the incident was as a result of the deceased asking his pregnant partner to take the Okra she was cutting outside, and she allegedly stabbed him with the name with which she was cutting the Okra.
“Perhaps, he would have survived the attack had Onyinyechi called for help earlier. From all indications, it was clear that she attempted to manage the situation immediately the incident occurred. It was when she discovered that the situation had overwhelmed her that she raised the alarm.
“The irony of this matter is that she is not a trouble-maker. She has never beaten a little child, let alone fight with any neighbour. Again on that day, we saw both of them together. They were seen sitting outside, one hour before the incident occurred.”
Hmmmm!!!
