A horrific incident occurred in Nekede, Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State, where an unidentified man allegedly butchered his wife over suspicions of infidelity.

The incident came to light after a viral video showed the man attacking his wife with a knife.

According to reports, the man was alerted by a neighbour on April 10, that his wife was engaging in an extramarital affair in their matrimonial home.

The husband was said to have rushed home and caught his wife with her lover in their bedroom, while their 6-year-old daughter was left alone in the living room.

It was gathered that out of anger, the husband attacked his wife with a knife, leaving her severely injured.

Her lover was said to have been allowed to leave the scene unharmed.

The Imo state police command on Friday reacted to the incident, appealing to the public, especially residents of Nekede, to come forward with any useful information.

The police command’s spokesperson, Henry Okoye, stated: "The Imo State Police Command is aware of the video circulating on social media and wishes to state that the alleged incident has not been officially reported to the Police.

However, the Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, has directed the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) to conduct a thorough investigation into this disturbing incident and ascertain the facts.

He said: 'We urge the public, particularly residents of Nekede, to report any information they may have about the incident to the nearest Police Station or via 08148024755. Let us work together to ensure justice prevails in this case."

Although news like dis usually happens in the western world, it's more prevalent in Africa where marriage is more of a "Do or die matter"...
Always have divorce as a second opinion in your marriage...
Once you feel, you aren't collecting enough sex from your spouse, just opt for divorce and go out and slut your life out ...

At least your life won't be cut short!!!

Now wey she don die how far??

Rip to her ..

I won't blame the man, coz the height of Psychological pains can sometimes be immeasurable!!

From my reading, it is not usually about sex. It may be the taboo component or a desire to punish someone or to get an upper hand in the relationship. If not, why not leave and be with the person you are cheating with?

I saw one video on Twitter where a man came to serve his wife and her cheating partner in a restaurant. He greeted the man. As soon as the wife saw her husband, she knelt to beg. I was surprised. Once you are caught, own it and move on with the person you clearly prefer. Begging makes you look desperate.

I also think that we need to rethink the idea of marriage. Since people find it difficult to be loyal to each other, a civil contract of domestic partnership can be used. The clause is that the contract can be terminated when one partner steps out. I suspect marriage gives some people security for infidelity. When you remove that security, many will sit up.

As for women who are also at the receiving end, learn not to be too dependent on your husband. Have your own thing you are doing. That way, he knows you can do without him. As for men, don't go and be killing people because your wife stepped out. If you can't stomach it, release her from the marriage. If you kill anyone, you'd ruin your life and perhaps, your children's.
