A 48-year-old man, has allegedly killed his wife for not being able to give birth to a male child.
The deceased, 46, simply identified as Mama Feyi, was heavily pregnant when she was allegedly stabbed to death by the husband during an early morning dispute.

It was gathered that the alleged murderer who hails from Abusoro area in Akure, Ondo State, has since been arrested and is presently being detained at the Ala divisional police station.

Eye witness accounts say the suspect has been having a running battle with his deceased wife for over two years shortly after the woman gave birth to their fourth daughter.
Sources say trouble began a month ago before the brutal murder when the husband complained aloud that his deceased wife is incapable of bearing him a male child and the incident led to a fierce altercation between the couple.

Shocked neighbours expressed disbelief at the death of mama Feyi when one of their next door neighbour, Mr. Isijola, said he was awakened by loud arguments coming from their room very early in the morning.

“I ignored them as it is a norm for them to always argue and have altercations. I decided to ignore them at first but when the noise was getting unbearable, I stepped into their room only to find the lifeless body of the woman on the floor, lying in the pool of her blood.
"I saw the man holding a knife and he threatened to stab me if I don’t leave. It was when I discovered that he may abscond that I alerted the police who immediately came to arrest him.”

Narrating the incident, daughter of the deceased, Feyisara, said, “It all started on Sunday after my mummy had cooked rice. She asked me to go and collect money from my father to prepare stew and on getting to him, he started shouting. But he later gave me N500 which my mum refused to collect.

Hmm male children with joystick don dey make people kill their wives. Joystick who say ur hardner no dey important?

On whose power does it lie to Give a Male child? Look at where IGNORANCE has landed him!! How ungrateful some men can be!! I know of a couple that have been married for 40 yrs now without a single child be it male or female! Yet! They're still grateful to God and still living happily!!! If you ask me, I would say he should be thrown in a lion's den! Coz he's not fit to live among humans!

It's quite pathetic that the helpless woman's no more, hitherto i used to think the problm of gender discrimination ws only restricted to the ibos, dnt kw yorubas also repudiates Female bairns. At this stage of our rapid devt Nigerians shd eschew some of these archaic norms that places gargantuan relevance on male folks and try to embrace modernity by acceptin every child as equal and a special gift frm God regardless of its sex.

I SMH for the black race.
