A pregnant woman has thrown her husband out of two-storey building as a result of unresolved family problem.
According to an eyewitness who wouldn’t want his name in print, the tragedy occurred on Tuesday morning in Ebonyi, when the victim, Mr Nwoga Maduabuchi, a middle-aged man was pushed away from a two-storey building.
The victim, Mr Nwoga Maduabuchi, from Akparata Village, Igbeagu community in the Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, was said to have been married to the suspect, his second wife, from Uburu community, in the Ohaozara Local Government Area and lived in Abakaliki, the state capital.
A security officer, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said the victim was arguing with his second wife over a family issue, when the incident occurred.
A source said, “The man is just a victim of domestic violence.
“He had two wives. The first wife is from Izzi Local Government Area; while the second wife is from Uburu, in the Ohaozara Local Government Area of the state.
“It’s a family matter. But the second became so enraged over the matter and acted the way she did, by pushing her husband down from the two-storey building. That’s the height of it. That’s the height of wickedness.”
Another reliable source, who equally pleaded anonymity, said the suspect was heavily pregnant but was intermittently having quarrels with her late husband, adding that, “The second wife was constantly nagging.”
Speaking with a villager, Mr.Ogo Mike, he described the situation as horrible, saying the victim was an elder brother to his friend.
When contacted for his reaction, the Police Public Relations Officer in Ebonyi State Police Command, DSP Ukandu Joshua, did not respond to all the calls placed on his phone as at the time of filling this report.
