An 84-year-old man in Edo state, Gabriel Ahuwa, has been arrested by the police for allegedly killing his 75-year-old wife for refusing to sleep with him. The state police spokesperson, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, disclosed this while parading Ahuwa and 197 other suspects, PM News reported.
Ahuwa accused his late wife of sleeping with pastors while she denied him sex anytime he asked her for it.
The father of seven children confessed to killing his wife with a cutlass out of anger.
He said:
“So on Saturday last week in the afternoon, in the house, I picked up a cutlass and [cut] her all over her body. I did it in anger because she is not obeying me and I want people to know of it.”
He stated this while speaking with journalists while being paraded by the police.
Pastors were sleeping with my wife
The octogenarian alleged that pastors were sleeping with his wife, and he didn't have money to patronise prostitutes.
He added:
“My wife is not listening to me, anytime I asked her to come and sleep with me she always declines. We have seven children together, five boys and two girls.”
“I reported the matter to my family and her family, but she failed to listen to them and continue her old ways, and I was hearing information that pastors were sleeping with her.
“Each time I demanded for sex, either she would tell me she is sick or she has an ulcer, yet I am hearing rumour that she is sleeping with other men and I don’t have money to carry prostitutes.”
