The Nassarawa state police command has arrested one Okala Jo­seph for shooting his wife, Helen Precious, over disagreement on the number of children he wanted them to have. According to The Sun, Okala shot his wife in front of his mother in-law at her farm in Ninda village, Kokona Local Government Area, Nasarawa State on April 4th.

He tried to run away after committing the crime but was quickly apprehended by officers at the Garaku Police station.
