Angry Barren Woman Kills Husband Over Second Wife
A woman identified as Favour Odoba has allegedly killed her husband, Momo Jimoh Jamiu, also known as Abdul-Kadir Nagazi, in Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State following a dispute over his second marriage.
According to sources, the couple had been married for about nine years without having children. Tension reportedly arose after the man married another woman, who recently gave birth about two months ago.
A relative of the deceased, identified simply as Onono, said the incident occurred after Favour invited her husband to spend the night with her. “Favour was married to him for nine years without a child. After he married another woman who recently gave birth, Favour invited him to spend the night with her. She later took his dead body to a hospital,” the source said.
It was gathered that the suspect reportedly dropped the body at the hospital and fled the area. Medical personnel were said to have raised suspicions of possible food poisoning and the use of harmful injections after preliminary examinations, although the exact cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Kogi State Police Command, CSP William Aya, said investigations are ongoing. “Investigation is ongoing to determine the actual cause of death and the circumstances surrounding it. The woman, said to be the wife of the deceased, is currently on the run. Efforts are being intensified to arrest her to assist with the investigation,” he stated.
