A shocking incident has occurred in Ebonyi State, where a man, Joshua Nwafor, allegedly murdered his wife, Charity, following a dispute over a tuber of yam.
The tragic event took place in Nsokkara, Ezza South Local Government Area of the state, where the couple resided. Joshua, a native of the community, and Charity, from Awkuzu, Onicha Local Government Area, had been married for 17 years and had children together.
According to an eyewitness, the dispute began when Joshua brought out a yam to be cooked for the family. However, Charity expressed her preference for a roasted yam, leading to a heated argument between the couple.

“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.
