“Love is wicked,” so sang two American musicians, Brick and Lace, in one of their releases. Another female musician also described love as a dangerous game.

And this is exactly how to describe the way a woman in Lagos, who allegedly killed her husband recently for mere suspicion and jealousy. Ironically, she claimed loving him.

The suspect, Ifunanya Marcus from Umuahia, Abia State, allegedly stabbed her husband, Princewill Chukwu, in the stomach and his intestines gushed out. The incident occurred on May 27, 2010. He was said to have been rushed to the hospital, where he died two days after.

The woman suspected that his husband was having an affairs with his sales girl. But Ifunanya, 25, told Daily Sun she had known no peace since she met her husband in Delta State in 2003, especially, since they relocated to Lagos.
She said her husband had the habit of beating her, to the extent that she would end up in hospital. The suspect claimed that the scars on her body were as a result of torture by her late husband.
She also narrated how Chukwu flung her personal effects out of the house for failing to come back from the church on time. She claimed he did not pay any dowry before they started living together, adding, however that their union did not produce any child.

“I came back from the church that evening and he asked me where I was coming from. He asked me to go back to where I was coming from. The next thing he did was to throw my personal effects out of the room. He usually beat and injured me. I normally take drip, after each torture. He would later beg me to forgive him and brought back my property. I love him so much.

“He has not paid my dowry. My mother, sisters and other family members had advised me to leave Prince but I refused. Is it a crime to be in love? Now, see where my own love has landed me. I’ve brought shame to my family and my husband’s family. After I stabbed him, I prayed that he survived. I prayed to die, instead of him dying. I dreamt in the cell where someone died, I didn’t know it was my husband.”
“Please, beg my mother and sisters for me. I brought shame to them. What I want you people to do for me is to bury my husband for me. You can hang me. I’m not afraid of death anymore. I dropped out from primary four. God knows I loved my husband so much,” she lamented.

The suspect, who got to knew about her husband’s death in the office of Lagos State police spokesman, Mr. Frank Mba, fainted but was revived by a police doctor. She explained that she never meant to kill him. “I did not mean to kill him. I was only using the knife to threaten him. I don’t know what came over me before I stabbed him.

I was only narrating a story to his sales girl, Chikodi. He came back and was knocking on her door. I had to pass through the other door, to the kitchen because I was in Chikodi’s room. I hid in the kitchen. Later, I heard her telling him to stop touching her, that his wife was around. I noticed he was romancing her. I asked him whether that was what they had been doing and he threw my property outside. I picked the kitchen knife and stabbed him. I never knew it would result in his death,” she wept.

Chikodi, however, denied knowledge of the remote cause of Ifunanya stabbing her husband to death. “I’m a sales girl to Princewill. We sell bags and clothes at Badagry market. His wife asked me to come home for a discussion with her.

She told me she had problems with Chukwu and transferred her property to my room. She told me she had been having problems with him since they married in 2003. “Unknown to us, her husband was around and he began to angrily knock on the door. He ordered me to open the door or he would break it. His wife had to use the other door to the kitchen and hid there. I was begging him as he was shouting.

“His wife later came out from the kitchen and slapped him two times. He wanted to push me, I held and begged him not to beat her. I looked back and saw the wife holding a knife, trying to stab him,” Chikodi said.

She said she later collected the knife from her and threw it away. “And she ran inside the kitchen again and took another knife. Princewill pushed me and I fell. His wife stabbed him in the stomach and he fell. I came out and raised the alarm.”

“We took him to hospital in Badagry and they referred us to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba His intestines came out, and we had to push them in with clothes, till we got to the hospital. He died at LUTH,” she said.

Tragic,

Let this be a warning to you cheating men,

So, a cheating man deserves to be killed? You're not advocating murder, are you?

what if the reverse becomes the case here, will you advocate the man killing the woman

^^^ Good question.

First of all, I never said I advocated a gotdamn thing,

Second of all, I said let that be a warning to you cheating sommabishes,

Third of all, If the shoe fits, wear it!

@queeneve 'cheating men' my foot! It was not proven whether he cheated on his wife or not;think is more of the frequent abuse the woman suffered from him.


That's why you should never hold a weapon when you're angry,cus you'll never know what you're capable of doing with it when furious.

this is 50-50% in all cases to men and women
when it is woman; it is emotional, there will be a reason for that, the man deny her sex,cannot satisfy her, did not give her money and all that baldrash reasons
when it is man; kill am, catch am, die,

Queeneve please abeg. The man was obviously going to beat the crap out of her at the very least. She might be able to argue self defense

Hmm, so sad!!

She coulda divorced him all the while he was allegedly abusing her physically. Now, she's gonna die in prison.

@post
