A woman, Zenab Agbontine, has been arrested
by men of the Edo State Police Command for
allegedly axing her husband to death after a
quarrel.
The woman was said to have used an axe to
sever her husband’s head when the latter was
asleep in their home at Ubiane Aviele village
near Auchi in Estako West Local Government.
Narrating what happened, the suspect said she
had been married to her husband for nine years
and that they had five children.
Zenab, who was paraded yesterday, said she
was a farmer and that her husband was a night
guard.
She said trouble started when he brought
another woman home and asked her to leave.
Zenab, who spoke in tears while confessing
said: “He stopped me from entering his room. I
pleaded with him to forgive me because I had
problems but he refused. It was when he slept
that I entered the room with an axe and hit his
head. I don’t know what entered into me.”
Zenab said her refusal to leave made her
husband to beat her and that she retaliated
when she got hold of an object. She spoke in
tears.
Among other suspects paraded are Augustine
Obodeke, who allegedly had carnal knowledge
of his daughter and impregnated her twice,
Udoh Effiong, who defiled a 48-year-old woman
on her farm, Omoti Oshioremun and Emmanuel
Umoru, who joined four others to defile a 12-
year-old girl.
Obodeke said he lived with his daughter and
son after the death of his wife. He said he used
to sleep with his daughter at night.
Police said Obodeke procured abortion for his
daughter twice before the victim cried out.
Commissioner of Police Foluso Adebanjo said
the suspects would be charged to court after
investigation has been completed.
