Man Kills His Wife Over Yam In Ebonyi by NaijaCover(op): 9:46pm On Dec 22, 2024
A Man In Ebonyi State, Joshua Nwafor, has allegedly killed his wife, Charity, over a tuber of yam.

The incident occurred in Nsokkara, Ezza South Local Government Area of the state, where the couple lived.

While Joshua hails from the community, Charity was a native of Awkuzu, Onicha Local Government Area of the state.

The couple had been married for 17 years and had children.

An eyewitness told Daily Sun that Joshua brought out a yam to be cooked for the entire family, but Charity told him she would not eat a cooked yam, preferring a roasted one, which caused a disagreement between them.

The man brought out yam to be cooked for the entire family to eat, and the wife told him that she was not going to eat the cooked one, that she preferred roasted one, and went ahead to roast the yam.

“As a result, the man got angry and dragged her into the room, locked the door, and beat her till she gave up the ghost,” the eyewitness, who did not want his name in print, told Daily Sun.

“I am one of the advocates for walking out of a marriage instead of dying in such a marriage. Life has no duplicate. No matter how old that marriage is, when it becomes life-threatening, please find your way. Leave very fast and never mind what people would say,” the eyewitness further stated.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, said: “This is sad. Let me confirm if it’s being handled by the command, but rest assured that the command will conduct a thorough investigation and charge whoever is found wanting.”

Poverty and frustration...

Reminds me of a guy way back in warri.

This guy, his wife, brother and brother's wife were all cramped up living together in a room and parlor like sardines. At the time he was just deported from Libya his brother wasn't doing too well also.

Every day it was one issue or the other. You could always feel the tension in the atmosphere.

It got to the point of this particular guy bringing out a cutlass to threaten his brother one day. They were separated by neighbors.

Now I met this guy again years later at an event with his family-the whole gang. His wife had put to birth and apparently he was doing well for himself. Dude had even built a house for himself, car etc. (yahoo money lipsrsealed)

I couldn't help but notice how cool and lovey dovey everyone was and happy. So me and my big mouth jokingly commented on the day they were chasing themselves with cutlass.

What he said next amazed me. He said all those fights and quarrels at the time was due to poverty. That he couldn't even give any reasonable explanation as to why they were always fighting. That the cause of the fights sometimes were so trivia but it mattered then.

He went on to say that since they started doing well for themselves recently they had never had any serious issues as they always resolved any misunderstanding amicably without blows... He said they could have just killed themselves back then over very trivia issues that didn't even matter. That looking back he could not even remember what was so important to the extent of him raising a matchet for his own blood.

Poverty is really a terrible thing. It leads to frustration.

It's really difficult if not impossible to hear this kind of news coming from the rich folks.

Poor people problems!

Damnn..

Imagine killing your wife of 17 years within a blink because of yam! What’s going on in Agulu is beyond poverty..

“The man brought out yam to be cooked for the entire family to eat, and the wife told him that she was not going to eat the cooked one, that she preferred roasted one, and went ahead to roast the yam.

“As a result, the man got angry and dragged her into the room, locked the door, and beat her till she gave up the ghost,” the eyewitness, who did not want his name in print, told Daily Sun.

Damn! Lack of understanding chaii... Why can’t they prepare both the boiling & roasted yam? It doesn’t take long for yam to get boiled. Why the aggression?

Don’t be surprised that the man already got high on fake drinks like Hero beer before getting home. So so unfortunate..
