Man murders wife, plans cover up story for family

A married man has allegedly stabbed his wife to death and planned a suitable cover up for the murder.

According to reports, the man, identified as Mr Elijah Emeka Ibeabuchi, allegedly murdered his wife Mrs Ogechukwu Okafor in August 13, 2024 in Nimo community in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Reacting to the incident, the Anambra State Government, through the state’s Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare ordered an immediate investigation into the matter.

In a statement released by the media aide to the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Chidinma Ikeanyionwu, on Wednesday, August 11 said the incident was reported to the ministry after people started noticing some suspicious movement from the husband.

The statement read in part, “The deceased’s uncle, Mr Samuel Onuorah, from Abatete community, who led the family member to make complaint at the ministry, alleged that he got a call from his late niece’s husband that his niece, Ogechukwu, fell from four-storey building and died.

Seeking for justice at the office of the Commissioner for Women Affairs, the uncle noted that they discovered that their daughter did not fall as claimed by the husband, but was rather killed with a knife, stabbed on her neck and chest by Elijah.

He further revealed that their doubts were cleared after they went to the mortuary where the said husband had deposited their daughter’s corpse and saw evidently that she didn’t fall from any storey building as claimed by the husband.

Obinabo added that the government would definitely investigate the matter and make sure justice is served.
