Nigerian Man Strangles Pregnant Wife To Death 1 Year After Wedding

A Nigerian man has been arrested for allegedly strangling his pregnant wife to death in Otolo, Nnewi South LGA of Anambra State.

The suspect, identified as Ikechukwu Obiora, reportedly attacked and killed his wife, Mrs Ebere Obiora, on Thursday, March 2, 2025, after she delayed in opening the gate for him.

The couple got married in August 2022 and were expecting their first child before the incident happened.

According to reports, Ikechukwu admitted to the crime, saying:

“I returned home in the morning of March 2, 2025, and was knocking at the gate, but my wife did not open it immediately.

In that anger, i started shouting at her. I first sl@pped and hit her from the gate to the house before angrily gr@bbing her on the neck and str@ngling her to d£ath.

I couldn’t believe what happened because i never expected that such actions would lead to her d&ath.

I eventually abandoned the corpse and left out of fear and confusion, after confiding in few persons who i sought advice on what to do. It was later in the evening that my mother reached out to my wife’s family members.”
