Jealous husband strangles wife to death over extra-marital affair (Photos)
A 45-year-old man identified as Adeniyi Jose has reportedly killed his wife, Chioma Gloria Ibeh, for allegedly having an affair with another man.
The incident reportedly happened in Suleja, Niger State on Monday, 8 August 2022.
According to sources, Adeniyi attempted to kill himself by consuming a poisonous substance immediately after the act.
The unconscious bodies of the couple were found by the wife’s sister, Brenda Ibeh, who visited the couple and didn’t get an answer when she knocked.
She peeped through the kitchen window and found her sister’s body with bruises all over, a pillow on her face, and a rope circling her body.
She invited the police and when they gained entrance into the house, they found Chioma had died.
A family source revealed that the couple has been married for eight years with a 9-year-old son. Adeniyi is from Akure, Ondo State while his late wife hailed from Imo State.
The source said “Adeniyi is a jealous man and frequently fought his wife whenever he sees her talking with any man. They have been married since 2014 and have a son together.”
“This is not the first time Adeniyi Jose made attempts on his wife’s life. He was jobless while my sister who works at the registers department of the General Hospital, Suleja Niger State is the one feeding him and taking care of their 9-year-old child.
“Adeniyi first attempted to kill my sister in the first week of April when my sister returned from fixing our dad’s house in the village. My dad was with Road Safety and his pension money was used to fix his house.”
“We agreed that she should play that role because she was a graduate. He called her and disturbed her so much that she had to run back and when she did, that same night, he almost killed her with a sharp knife.
“The case was reported to the police at Suleja and nothing was done about it,” the family member lamented.
Adeniyi Jose was rushed to Suleja General Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
