A young housewife has been arrested by men of the Nigerian police after stabbing her husband to death.
A 24-year old housewife, Mrs. Chinaza Oparah, has turned herself to
widow and now facing charge for murder for stabbing her 27-year old
husband, Obinna, to death during a scuffle in Lagos.
PM Express reports that the incident happened at No. 34 Owodeni Street, Amukoko area of Lagos, where they reside.
Police operatives from the State Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department, Panti Yaba, have arrested Mrs. Chinaza for
culpable homicide and she will be charged for murder which attracts life
imprisonment if she is tried and found guilty before the Court.
Mrs. Chinaza, who hails from Anambra State got married to Obinna from Imo State almost a year ago.
The duo reportedly met early 2017 at Onitsha, Anambra State, when
Obinna, a tiler, had gone there to work and in the process they fell in
love and even had a child out of wedlock. But in order to make their
union formal, they got married traditionally in November 2018.
However, the love story went sour, when in the early hours of
Monday, 2nd December, 2019, Chinaza stabbed Obinna on the left side of
his chest with a kitchen knife over a misunderstanding. The husband,
Obinna, did not survive it as he died shortly after.
Chinaza had after killing her husband called neighbours for help,
but it was already too late. Irate neighbours had attempted to lynch her
for the act, but for the timely intervention of men from the Amukoko
Police Division, who came to her rescue.
Mrs. Chinaza, who is currently in Police custody at the Homicide
Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department
(SCIID), was all tears as she narrated what led to the killing of her
husband.
On Sunday, 1st December, her husband had gone out to visit his
kinsman, Chibueze Ojika, and returned late that evening. On his return,
Obinna had while discussing with his wife, warned her to stay away from a
particular single lady, simply identified as Ogechi, their neighbour,
whom he accused of being wayward. Chinaza had insisted on continuing her
friendship with Ogechi, describing her as a good girl who was only
being resented by some neighbours not pleased with her refusing a
marriage proposal from another neighbour.
While Chinaza said she cautioned her husband not to listen to
hearsay, the discussion degenerated into a heated argument, extending
into the early hours of Monday.
It was in the heat of the argument that Chinaza picked a kitchen
knife, with which she said she wanted to scare her husband. Obinna
succeeded in taking the knife from her and in the process inflicting a
cut on her left thumb. Angered by the wound, Chinaza picked another
kitchen knife and this time, stabbed her husband on the chest with it.
Making a confessional statement, she said, “That Sunday
evening, when he came back home, we had a misunderstanding. He said he
was hearing news of my friend, Ogechi, flirting around and that he did
not want me close to her. I insisted the girl was a good girl since she
had been my friend for a while. I insisted that it was just because the
girl had refused to marry his friend, who is also a neighbour, that is
why news about her being a flirt is flying.”“We had a little misunderstanding about the issue and then, we
went to bed. I placed my hand on his body and he threw my hand away. I
asked if he was still angry and he said I must obey his instruction. I
continued to insist on the girl’s innocence.“He said he would deal with me since I no longer want to obey
him. We kept exchanging words and out of anger, I seized his phone,
jokingly, thinking he would loosen up, but he did not. He forcefully
took the phone from me. I went to pick a kitchen knife, threatened him
that if he threw my hand away again, I would injure him. But I was only
joking. He forcefully took the knife from me, injuring me on my left
thumb. He kept the knife on the refrigerator.”“He then told me that before I injure him, he would injure me. I
went to the cupboard to take another kitchen knife, a knife that was
sort of blunt and had not been in use for a while.”“While I was still standing close to the cupboard, he came to
me, hit me on the face and in response, I also raised my left hand to
hit him back, forgetting I was holding a knife. The knife pierced the
left side of his chest and he told me I had stabbed him. I thought he
was joking because it was dark. It was when I saw blood on the floor and
bed that I held him, touched his chest and noticed the blood pumping
out.”“I then ran out of the house shouting for help. Our neighbours
came, we looked for a tricycle, which was difficult to get at that time
of the day, we finally took him to two different private hospitals that
rejected him. Neighbours also rushed him to Orege General Hospital in
Ajegunle and brought him back home, saying the doctor had confirmed him
dead. ”
Chinaza also claimed that before the incident, a pastor had warned
her and her husband to move out of the house where they lived. She also
noted that the pastor told her that the compound was evil and that
people die mysteriously there.
While also speaking on the personality of her husband and their
relationship, she said: “My husband and I have lived a very peaceful
life. We had our misunderstandings as man and wife, but we never took it
to heart as we would always settle things immediately”.
“One thing that now makes sense to me is that our quarrels were
mostly in the evening when he returns home. I guess people were feeding
him with stories that were not true and he believed them, and that was
always causing trouble at home. We have only been married for one year
and our child is just two years old and now this.”“If I had known this was our fate together, I wouldn’t have
married him. We met two years back, when he came to work at Onitsha; we
went into a relationship and were sexually involved. He left after the
job and I noticed I was pregnant. I had lost his contact and could not
inform him of my pregnancy. I gave birth to our baby girl and was able
to reconnect with him one year after through Facebook. I told him we had
a child together and within days, he came to Onitsha.”“He told me he would not leave his child and the mother far
from him, and immediately came to do the traditional marriage rites. We
have been living together for only one year, and God knows that I cannot
kill my husband just like that, it is not ordinary, I strongly believe
there is a spiritual force behind my killing my husband.”“The compound where we live is evil. People have been dying
there mysteriously. A woman just died some eight days ago and even my
pastor had told me to pack out of the compound, that the compound is
evil.”“We even had plans for the New Year; he had promised to rent a
shop where I will be selling things. We even planned to have a white
wedding next year. All that is now history! If I had known, I would have
remained single, after all not all my age mates are married” she said.
