Man kills wife in Ondo over N10m deposit

A 42-year-old man identified as Kelechukwu Onuka has reportedly killed his wife, Nnena, after a quarrel over N10 million deposited in her account.

This incident occurred at Aratunsi area of Akure, Ondo State capital.

Sources said the money was deposited in the wife’s account by her sister for a building project.

It was gathered that the deceased husband got wind of the money in her wife’s account through another person.

Apparently peeved by his wife’s action, the suspect reportedly confronted her and it resulted in a quarrel.

It was during the fracas that the suspect allegedly used an object to hit his wife on the head and she died instantly.

“There was even a day that after beating her, the man called us to assist him to take his wife to the hospital.

“I really don’t know what led to this fight that caused the death of the woman.

“But on this day, it became serious. We were hearing their voices and later everywhere went silent.

“Before we knew what went wrong, the man was trying to revive the lady after using something to strike her in anger.”

Ondo State Police spokesman, SP Fummy Odunayo, said it was a case of domestic violence.
