A
middle aged Nigerian, Endurance Enadeba, has killed his wife in
Benin, over an argument on breastfeeding of their newly born set of
twins.
The
incident which occurred in the Upper Sakponba area of Benin, a day to
the naming ceremony of the couple’s twins, was said to have
followed an argument on when the woman, identified as Osarumwense
should breastfeed the babies.
According
to eye witnesses, the couple celebrated the birth of the twins last
week Sunday and was preparing for the naming ceremony when the
tragedy occurred.
Trouble
started when the husband allegedly requested the wife to breastfeed
the babies who were crying but the woman reportedly said she wanted
to urinate first.
According
to eye witnesses, Mr. Enadeba rushed to where the wife was to urinate
and a fracas ensued which led to the man hitting the wife on the head
with an iron-like object which resulted to her death.
Father
of the deceased woman who gave his name as Eghenayayore was seen
weeping and cursing profusely over the corpse.
He
explained that his daughter called to inform him about the incident
but that she died before they rushed her to the hospital, adding that
the husband fled when the wife collapsed.
“He
killed my daughter because of breastfeeding the twins. The twins are
at home now, who will give them breast milk? Why did he killed my
young daughter. This girl was born in 1996. We were preparing to name
the babies tomorrow because it was their first issue,” Pa
Eghenayayore said.
When
contacted, Edo Police Command Spokesman, DSP Moses Eguavoen confirmed
the incident and said the husband has been arrested from where he was
hiding.

The
evil that uncontrollable anger does. So sad, especially on a special day as that.
