simply identified as Mariam allegedly struck her bricklayer husband to
death with a stick following altercations between them over N100.
We reliably gathered that the woman, a mother of four all late, had
recently returned into her matrimonial home after she parted ways with
her husband following irreconcilable differences.
The incident which occurred yesterday, had since thrown the community
into mourning as sympathisers thronged the deceased's compound.
An eye-witness told said that their relationship went sour again
yesterday morning, leading to a hot argument between them over N100
which the woman was said to have demanded from the husband.
The deceased,the source added, was said to have told the wife that he
had no money which did not go down well with the wife thereby
degenerating into a hot argument between them.
During the process, the wife was said to have picked a stick and hit
the husband on his head and he fainted.
He was immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital where he was
pronounced dead.
As the news of the man's death filtered in,the woman on realising the
gravity of the incident was said to have locked herself up in a room
and inflicted wounds on her body using a razor blade.
To avert another tragedy, residents of the area, according to sources,
forced the door open and dragged the culprit out unclad before the
police were invited to effect her arrest.
When reporters visited the decease 's family compound,family members
and resident of the area maintained sealed leaps.
