Edo: Rape, murder of politician’s pregnant wife sparks protest
The pregnant wife of Comrade Promise Igbinevbo, Mrs Queen Igbinevbo has died after she was raped and murdered at home.
Mrs Igbinevbo was alone at her home in Benin when her attackers gained entrance into the home through the ceiling.
A source who spoke to newsmen said the intruders had come in search of her husband, Comrade Promise Igbinevbo, who is a Governorship Campaign Coordinator.
However, when they didn’t find him at home on May 20, 2020, they raped and murdered his wife.
Mrs Queen, who was known to have been a very religious woman in her neighbourhood, was discovered by neighbours who were worried that they had not seen her in a while.
A source said:
“When we could not see Queen, I came to check if she was fine because she lives alone, we met her naked, blood and foam was coming out of her mouth. There was semen all over her body.
“We had to call her husband who is staying in another place.”
The source said neighbours reported seeing strange men walking up and down the street just days before the tragic incident.
On Friday, June 5, protesters took to Edo State Police Command to demand justice for the deceased.
The source said three people have been arrested in relation to Mrs Queen Igbinevbo’s brutal murder.
