Edo State Police Command, yesterday,
confirmed the arrest of a young man,
identified as Endurance Enadeba, who
allegedly killed his wife, Osarumwense, over
alleged failure to breast feed their one week
old twins.
The husband and wife were said to be
preparing for the naming ceremony of their
twins which should have held yesterday.
It was learnt that the incident occurred after
an argument ensued on how to breast feed
the twins by their mother. Sunday
Vanguard learnt that the sad incident
happened on Friday night after Endurance
was alleged to have hit his wife on the head
with an object which killed her.
An eye witness said the husband asked the
wife to breastfeed the babies who were
crying but the woman said she wanted to
urinate first. The husband was said to have
gone to where the wife was to urinate and
a face-off ensued which led to the man
hitting the wife on the head.
The father of the deceased, who gave his
name as Eghenayayore, was seen weeping
and cursing profusely over the corpse. He
said his daughter called to inform him about
the incident but that she died before they
rushed her to hospital, adding that the
suspect fled when the wife collapsed.
"He killed my daughter because of a row
over the breastfeeding of the twins. The
twins are at home now, who will give them
breast milk? Why did he kill my young
daughter? This girl was born in 1996. We
were preparing to name the babies
tomorrow because they were their first
issue."
Edo State Police spokesman, DSP Moses
Eguavoen, confirmed the incident. He said
the husband had been arrested from where
he was hiding.
