THERE was pandemonium in Igarra Community of
Akoko –Edo Local Government Area of Edo State,
yesterday morning, when a retired soldier,
murdered his wife, Mrs Onyonishoyi Ukana-Nee
Akarutu, following the refusal by the deceased to
allow the husband, marry his long time mistress.
Ukana, a retired Warrant Officer 2, was said to have
macheted his wife at about 1am Friday morning
dismembering her body reminiscent of a scene
from a horror movie. Sources close to the family
said the 18 year old son of Shakede whose name
could not be ascertained at the time of filing this
report also sustained several machete cuts in an
attempt to rescue his mother.
His son was reported to have raised an alarm which
attracted neighbours in the night when he was
woken up by the shout of his mother as she was
being butchered by his father.
It was gathered that the couple have been engulfed
in a running battle over the man’s resolve to
formally marry his age long mistress. It was learnt
that the deceased had strongly objected to the
plans which had always led to fight in the house.
It was also learnt that several attempts made by
family members and friends in resolving the crisis
hit a brick walk.
The remains of the body of late Mrs Ukana is said to
have been deposited at a private mortuary in
Igarra, while the accused Mr Shakede is currently in
the custody of the police.
The Edo State Police Public Relation Officer, ASP
Moses Eguavoen said the command will investigate
the matter which he described as barbaric and
unacceptable.
