Detectives from the criminal Investigation Division of the state Police Command are presently looking for her.

As gathered that the crime was committed last Thursday at their number 70 Ijapo extension residence in Akure at 5a.m.

Chinedu, a native of ImoState was a staff of Owena River Basin Authority, Alagbaka in Akure.

A co-tenant, who gave his name as Kelechi, said: “Ebere and Patrick frequently engage in fights but on Thursday, October 17, at 5a.m., the couple began to fight.

“Most times they engage in such fights, I go there to settle it. But on this fateful morning, when I got into their room I saw Ebere holding a knife against her husband so I pleaded with her to drop the knife and pleaded with Patrick not to beat his wife.

“At the first attempt I succeeded in separating them. So Ebere dropped the knife. But as soon as Patrick saw that his wife had dropped the knife, he seized the opportunity to pounce on her and gave her another beating.

How he died

“I told Patrick to stop, but I noticed that when he tried to move away he slumped and that was when I screamed for help and called other members of the house.

“When we entered the apartment we realised that Patrick was already on the floor. So people began to urge Ebere to lift her husband up. She eventually did and we saw that the father of two was already bleeding.

“We were all shocked and most of the people took to their heels. Ebere escaped with her two kids to an unknown destination.”

Police image-maker, Wole Ogodo, confirmed the ugly incident.

Ogodo said: “One Mr. Tuyi, who is the landlord of the house the couple lived in, reported the incident to the Police Station on Thursday 17, at 6.45a.m.

Ogodo said that policemen are searching for the suspected killer, while the corpse of the deceased had been deposited at the Akure State Specialist Hospital morgue for autopsy.

seriously?

what kind of peace is that. The one that means she will constantly look over her shoulders? detest policemen and always run.

she will forever be on the run and if the children later realise she killed their father, they may not take things cool with her.



What is all the talk about him abusing her? does anyone know how their fight starts or if the wife is the troublesome one?

orisirisi on this NL ooo.

I normally prefer to look at both sides of a story before forming an opinion BUT honestly when I hear that a 35 yrs old man has got TWO children with a 16 yrs old girl, I don't need to hear anything else. He was a pervert and I don't feel any pity for him.

She will not forever be on the run . . . she killed him out of self defense and she is still a minor . . . at least according to the eye witness' testimony. She's running now out of ignorance but with a good lawyer she'll never be convicted of murder.

Even if the wife is troublesome, is that enough reason for a 35 year old man to beat up a 16 year old all in the name of marriage

Sooner or later she would have been the dead one.

2 kids at 16 . . . I'm shocked you see nothing wrong with that.

I understand the part that makes it seem like he took advantage of her. But did he marry her? Did she agree to the marriage. Is it a forced union?

If he forced her to marry him and she is not with him with her parent's consent, I can join in calling him all sorts of names.

Fact is, These kinds of marriages are common in Nigeria. The problem here is not the mrriage but what happened in it. For example, Kanu's wife was only 18 when they got married and who did not know that Kanu is over 40? He did not meet her at 18, definitely. whatever relationship b4 then was with a minor and it was ok. In this case, the marriage is very much ok in their cultural context. You cannot bring your own view of her not being mature enough for marriage and just want it to be the perfect and acceptable one.

She is 16..maybe the children are a twin may be not. In some parts of the world, a 16yr old is an adult and can already make their own decisions. At 16, I was deciding my carreer path and was aware of the consequences of whatever decision I was making.

So, in this matter of her using a Knife with her husband, I see no self defence..Didn't the neighbour say he separated them at first and by then she already had a knife?

I am not saying the husband is innocent. He could have been punished without having had to die.

and she should stop running. She had an intent to kill was the reason she had a knife before the said beating. There are other ways with an abusive man. She could have left him, like she just did, could have reported him to the police..

2 kids at 16?

was she forced to have them? where is she from? Is it a common practice there?

If you have not changed people's thought processes to understand certain things your way, you cannot blame them for the choices they make!

If you were never educated, never got a chance to see the world beyond a tiny village, there is a big possibility that you'd be married at such an age, you'd have your bath in a river water and drink from it and when presented with a clean pure water, you'd rather wash your hands with it than drink it.

and why would anyone judge you over that. Simply because you did not have an opportunity like they did.

It is all down to perception is what I am saying. It gives her no reason to have a knife with a man she has frequently fought with.

16-Years Old and already mother of 2....
Good for the Man....
Senator Yarima watch out..

Why did she have a knife? Was she holding a knife to him while they were making love??

The man was about to beat her up, and not for the first time . . . . she held the knife to ward him off. The neighbor said she dropped the knife after the husband was convinced not to beat her up. Immediately he saw she had dropped the knife, he pounced on her again. (did you intentionally not see that part?)

Pray tell, when would it have been ok for a 16-year old to defend herself against a 35-year old man? When he holds a knife to her throat

You mean you are defending him because he was 'just beating her up' and not stabbing her with a knife

I'm not going to go into all that crap you are saying about being 16 and mature to be a mother of 2 kids . . .

When you were 16 you were deciding to study Medicine or Law in the University, not how to breasfeed one baby and potty train the other.

Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't give you the right to be insensitive to that the young girl is going through!

PS: Kanu did not date his wife . . . she was arranged for him . . . . And yes, at 18 she was not mature enough but she married a man who did not beat her up at every chance he got!

I can't believe you are comparing both cases . . .

cycline404: 16-Years Old and already mother of 2....

So because she's 16 (mother of two) and he's 35 he deserves to be killed?

When they started fighting or the abuse started what stopped her from leaving that she had to kill him?

Obviously, You are allowing your emotions to cloud over your judgement. Read what I wrote again and try to have an understanding of it.

If you don't, there is no reason to respond to you.

Sissie: When they started fighting or the abuse started what stopped her from leaving that she had to kill him?

exactly.

This is more like a pre conceived murder.

This is not the first time he has beaten her. It seems more like, she knew the steps..

probably, something like

.argument-shouting-beating-crying and wailing for the neighbours to hear.

Then she decided when the argument started to have a knife so in case he moves to the beating part, she'd show him pepper by using the knife. and she did!


I know this may not be how it happened, but it is easy for it to have been this way.

I don't have to read what you wrote to understand the way you reason . . .

In some countries, that man would have been locked away for a very long time for marrying a 16-year old girl, even with her parent's consent. Look up statutory rape . . But no, you chose to quote an abusive culture which is being outlawed even as we speak to back up your baseless reasoning.

No where in Imo State is 16-year old girl getting married a norm . . . . Not married at 16, but married with two kids at 16. But hey, according to you, those kids are twins and somehow that makes it ok!

I'm still shocked you are defending this man . . .

Sissie: When they started fighting or the abuse started what stopped her from leaving that she had to kill him?

For her to be married at 16 already should tell you why she couldn't leave him . .

Very possibly from a poor background and was forced into early marriage by her parents to make life easier for themselves. Pray tell, where could she have gone? Back to her parents with two extra mouths to feed? The same people who sold her to a pedophile?

SMH . . . people sha!

Did he deserve to be locked up, dealt with or whatever? Yes

But did he deserve to be killed? That's the question

Sissie: Did he deserve to be locked up, dealt with or whatever? Yes

But did he deserve to be killed? That's the question

Did she kill him in his sleep or poison his meals? No!

She was protecting herself.


What's to say the man wouldn't have beaten her to death? Or should we have waited till that happens before condemning her

Your profiling is based on assumptions.
Being married at 16 don't = poverty, what makes us so sure she's poor. There's a big what if?

What makes you so sure she didn't chose to get married to the man herself? Because she's 16 or 14 isn't enough reason because I know for a fact that some people at that age are already matured biologically and mentally.

What is wrong is not the marriage. The cons of such a marriage can be a subject for another thread.

What I am saying is, there is no getting away for killing this man. His family members will not let her rest. Her children will detest her for that. she won't be able to sleep well ever again.

and I said again, that the problem is not the marriage because there are people who have successful marriages with this kind of scenarios. I know some girls and they once laughed bout it that their mum got married at age 16. They are so classy and all, I was surprised. Their family is a decent one. Kanu also did it with his wife..

If the man or the girl in this case thought that there was anything wrong with their marriage, they would not have gotten married in the first place and you are not in any position to dictate what is right or wrong. So, again, when their issues started, they could have seek help in other ways than a partner killing the other. It is inexcusable!!

What makes you so sure it wasn't premeditated, at 6 years old we all knew the danger of playing or fighting with a knife.

What's to say he would have beaten her to death?
