It was a sad weekend in Ndubia
Inyimaegu community in Izzi Local
Government Area of Ebonyi State,
following reports of the death of
one Jacinta, who was allegedly
beaten to death by her husband,
James Uguru, over adultery.

Confirming the incident, Police
Public Relations Officer of the state
command, ASP George Okafor,
revealed that the suspect had
angrily beaten his wife to stupor
when the deceased stopped him
from chasing after her alleged lover
boy.

The Lagos-based Uguru was said to
have become suspicious of the
wife’s alleged promiscuity
following rumours making the
rounds on the matter in the
community whenever he visits
home to see his family.

… and the phone rang

It was learned that trouble started
when the couple was discussing in
the sitting room and suddenly a
phone started ringing in their
bedroom. As the husband made to
go for the phone, his wife held his
waist, preventing him from
moving.

Vanguard gathered that as he was
being prevented from entering the
bedroom, the wife’s alleged lover
ran out from their bedroom. His
wife’s insistence that he should not
chase after the man made him vent
his anger on her.

According the police spokesman,
the suspect has been arrested as
efforts were on to arrest the said
lover boy.
