Edo State Police Command, yesterday,
confirmed the arrest of a young man, identified
as Endurance Enadeba, who allegedly killed his
wife, Osarumwense, over alleged failure to
breast feed their one week old twins. The husband and wife were said to be preparing
for the naming ceremony of their twins which
should have held yesterday. It was learnt that the incident occurred after an
argument ensued on how to breast feed the
twins by their mother. Sunday Vanguard learnt
that the sad incident happened on Friday night
after Endurance was alleged to have hit his
wife on the head with an object which killed her. An eye witness said the husband asked the wife
to breastfeed the babies who were crying but
the woman said she wanted to urinate first. The
husband was said to have gone to where the
wife was to urinate and a face-off ensued which
led to the man hitting the wife on the head. The father of the deceased, who gave his name
as Eghenayayore, was seen weeping and cursing
profusely over the corpse. He said his daughter
called to inform him about the incident but that
she died before they rushed her to hospital,
adding that the suspect fled when the wife collapsed. “He killed my daughter because of a row over
the breastfeeding of the twins. The twins are at
home now, who will give them breast milk? Why
did he kill my young daughter? This girl was born
in 1996. We were preparing to name the babies
tomorrow because they were their first issue.” Edo State Police spokesman, DSP Moses
Eguavoen, confirmed the incident. He said the
husband had been arrested from where he was
hiding.

ANOTHER ONE. . . ALL NA 'DISCIPLINE' ABI?
Spanked children. . . ESPECIALLY BOYS. . .become SERIAL DOMESTICALLY VIOLENT SPOUSES!

But you can't beat the CHAMPIONS sha.
FROM THE EAST OR WEST!

Is he insane? A nursing mother can't take a leak to get comfortable before settling down to breast feed? Na wa oh.

Papa should say the whole story. People don't decide one day to fatally hit and kill their spouses; its a gradual build up.
How many times has she complained of being hit and was sent back to fast and pray and stop "provoking" him.
Off course now that she is dead we can feel sorry for her and curse him out.
The floor is open

All these juveniles running into marriage, the exit might just lead to the grave. So sad

Now this is what I love about you, madam Debrief. You say it EXACTLY like it is.

Oya make the condolences and RIPs pour in....

But come to think of it, what was she doing, being married at such an early age in this day and time? No school / higher education??

(sigh)

Poor upbringing, I guess?

Learning from what they saw as kids while growing up?? Who knows?

@Post

The effects of underage marriage. If the girl is 17, then she got married at 16 or thereabout. What is her father complaining for? Did he not remember his daughter is young and was born in 1996 when he chose to give her hand out in marriage? Anyways, Nigerian marriages! what else does one expect?
