Mother Of 4, Kills Husband Over 100Naira In Ilorin

Tragedy struck, yesterday, at Oloje area of
Ilorin when a housewife simply identified as Mariam
allegedly struck her bricklayer husband to death with
a stick following altercations between them over
N100.
Vanguard 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 Vanguard 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 naked before the police were
invited to effect her arrest.
When Vanguard visited the decease 's family
compound,family members and resident of the area
maintained sealed leaps.
