The incident, which threw the densely populated area into chaos, occurred at about 12 noon inside the couple’s one room apartment at 81 Military zone junction Vanguard reports.
There were different accounts on how tragedy struck. A version of the account said the couple had different views on their choice of presidential candidates. While the husband was said to have decided to vote for the PDP, his wife, called Onyiyechi, reportedly chose to vote for the presidential candidate of the APC. An argument which degenerated into a fight over whose choice would hold sway reportedly ensued between them.
In the process, Onyiyechi allegedly stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife in the chest region.
One of the tenants who spoke on condition of anonymity told Vanguard that they did not witness how the suspect allegedly stabbed her husband.
But he explained that,
“ We were all outside waiting to vote when Onyiyechi rushed out, shouting for help. Out of curiosity, we all ran inside, only to discover blood all over the ground, on entering their apartment.
”On closer observation, we noticed that the blood was from her husband chest region. We met him on the ground. Before we could rush him to the hospital, he gave up the ghost.”
He would have probably survived the attack had Onyiyechi called for help early. From all indication, it was clear that she tried to manage the situation immediately the incident occurred. It was when she discovered that the situation had overwhelmed her that she raised alarm.
I do not know the name of her husband. We only know that of his wife, who we fondly call Onyiyechi. The irony of this matter is that she is not cantankerous.
”She has never beaten a little child, let alone to fight with any neighbor. Again on that day, we saw both of them together. They were seen sitting outside, one hour before the incident occurred. Policemen from Ejigbo later came to remove the corpse to the Isolo morgue”.
