Pregnant wife pushes husband to death from 2-storey building in Ebonyi

On Tuesday morning in Ebonyi State, a middle-aged pregnant lady threw her husband to his death off a two-story building.

Mr Nwoga Maduabuchi, from Akparata village, Igbeagu community, Izzi Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, was claimed to be married to the suspect’s second wife, from Uburu community, Ohaozara Local Government Area, and lived in Abakaliki, the state’s capital.

A security official, who talked to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, claimed the victim was arguing with his second wife over a family matter when the incident happened.

According to the source, “The man is just a victim of domestic violence.

“He had two wives. The first wife is from Izzi Local Government Area; while the second wife is from Uburu, in the Ohaozara Local Government Area of the state.

“It’s a family matter. But the second became so enraged over the matter and acted the way she did, by pushing her husband down from the two-storey building. That’s the height of it. That’s the height of wickedness.”

Another reliable source, who equally pleaded not to be mentioned in print, said the suspect was heavily pregnant but was intermittently having quarrels with her late husband, adding that, “The second wife was constantly nagging.”

Another community source, Ogo Mike, described the situation as horrible, saying the victim was an elder brother to his friend.

When PUNCH Metro contacted the Police Public Relations Officer, Ebonyi State Police Command, DSP Ukandu Joshua, he claimed he had yet to be informed of the incident by the Divisional Police Officer.

According to him, he was not in the know of where, in Abakaliki, the incident took place, in order to ascertain what happened.

When our correspondent inquired, he asked, “Where did it happen so I can reach the DPO of the place?”
