The Lagos State Police Command has arrested one 26-year-old pregnant Onyiyechi who allegedly stabbed her husband to death during a quarrel over who would emerge winner between the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidates, while voting was on-going , weekend, at Ejigbo area of the state.
According to Vanguard, the incident which threw the neighbours into a mayhem, happened inside the couple's one room apartment at 82 Military zone junction at about 12 noon.
While some said that the couple had conflicting opinion on their choice of presidential candidates, others said the wife disobeyed the husband.
It was gathered that husband was said to have decided to vote for the PDP,while the wife, schose to vote for the presidential candidate of the APC.
An argument ensued and in the process, Onyiyechi allegedly stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife in the chest region.
Other version of the report said the deceased, told his pregnant wife to take the okro she was grating inside the room, to the veranda which also served as kitchen , an instruction she reportedly disobeyed, following which an argument which led to a fight occurred.
Their neighbours of the couple described the suspect as an amicable person who had never quarreled with anyone since she moved into the building.
One of the neighbours said that, “ We were all outside waiting to vote when Onyiyechi rushed out, shouting for help. Out of curiosity, we all ran inside, only to discover blood all over the ground, on entering their apartment.
On closer observation, we noticed that the blood was from her husband chest region. We met him on the ground. Before we could rush him to the hospital, he gave up the ghost.
Perhaps, he would have survived the attack had Onyiyechi called for help early. From all indication, it was clear that she attempted to manage the situation immediately the incident occurred. It was when she discovered that the situation had overwhelmed her that she raised alarm.
I do not know the name of her husband. We only know that of his wife, who we fondly call Onyiyechi.
She has never beaten a little child, let alone to fight with any neighbor.
Again on that day, we saw both of them together. They were seen sitting outside, one hour before the incident occurred. Policemen from Ejigbo later came to remove the corpse to the Isolo morgue”.
