Allegations of infidelity have reportedly prompted
a man identified as Jacob Nwachukwu to cut off
his wife’s left hand at Abala in Obingwa Local
Government Area of Abia State.
According to reports, the victim, Nwadiokeonu
Nwachukwu, is currently receiving treatment at a
local hospital in Aba.
A female co-tenant of Nwachukwu, who pleaded
anonymity, said the husband lost his job and had
to relocate to the village alone, after the couple
had lived in the city for years.
She said, “The couple had always quarreled any
time the man visited his wife in the city, to the
extent that all the tenants are aware and
intervened in their quarrels.”
It was gathered that the husband visited his wife
on the fateful day and during their usual quarrel,
brought out a machete, cut off the wife’s hand
and left with it to the village while neighbours
rushed her to the hospital.
However, the wife’s suspected lover is said to be
on the run.
While responding to a text message, the Area
Commander, Aba Police Command, Peter
Wabara, said the incident had yet to be reported
to him.
But a police officer at Ogbor Hill Police Station
confirmed the incident and said investigation into
the matter had commenced.
The victim’s severed hand had been taken to her
husband’s village at Abala for burial.
