INCESSANT MISUNDERSTANDING! Man hacks wife to death over ‘lack of manners’
A 39-year-old man is being held by the Niger State Police Command for allegedly killing his wife over her “lack of manners”.
Farida Banti of Hungu village in the Mariga Local Government Area of the state was said to have hacked his wife, Hajo, with a cutlass.
WuzupNaija gathered that the suspect and the deceased were always having quarrels.
It was further gathered that Banti had earlier sent his wife back to her parent’s house “to learn manners”, but demanded she returned home after some time.
She allegedly refused to return.
The suspect told our correspondent that he killed his wife with a cutlass over what he described as “incessant misunderstanding.”
He said,
“I inflicted deep cuts on my wife, which resulted in her death, because she refused to obey me.
“In fact, it was extreme provocation that made me kill my wife.”
Banti added he felt bad for killing his wife but insisted that “women must learn to obey their husbands so that what happened to my wife will not happen to them.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, confirmed the incident, saying the suspect had confessed to the crime.
Abubakar said the matter would be charged to court as soon as investigations into the case were completed.
