“Preliminary investigations show that the suspect, who has confessed to the crime, claimed he acted out of suspicion that his wife was having an extramarital affair,” Ndukwe said.

The suspect will be arraigned in court once investigations are concluded. The Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, has instructed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to ensure a thorough investigation and prompt prosecution.

He also urged couples to resolve their differences peacefully and legally, rather than resorting to violence.
