A tragic incident has occurred in Ebonyi State as a middled aged man identified as Joshua Nwafor, allegedly beat his wife, Charity Nwafor, to death over a disagreement on how to cook a tuber of yam.
The couple, it was gathered, had been married for 17 years and their union blessed with children.
According to Njoku Chinenye who witnessed the incident, the dispute began when Joshua instructed his wife to cook the yam, but she preferred to roast it instead.
This seemingly minor disagreement escalated, and Joshua dragged his wife into their room, locked the door, and brutally beat her until she lost her life.
The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested Joshua and is currently investigating the matter.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) stated that Joshua will be charged in court once the investigation is concluded.
This heartbreaking incident highlights the devastating consequences of domestic violence and the importance of seeking help when conflicts arise.
“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,” said Chinenye.
