Few
days after one was alleged to have killed his wife in Lagos, another man,Mr.
Christopher Okon, on Wednesday hacked his wife, Mrs. Nsikak, to death during a
quarrel over his lover.
It
was learnt that the father of five, who resides on Nanka Street, Mile 1 Diobu,
Port Harcourt, had allegedly killed the mother of his children while trying to
defend his female lover.
Okon,
who is a driver with a company in Port Harcourt and a native of Ikot Abasi in
Akwa Ibom State, was said to be having extra-marital affair with his co-tenant.
Southern
City News gathered that trouble started when the victim, Nsikak, who sold
cooked food, came back from the market to find out that her husband’s lover had
given food to her (Nsikak’s) children.
When
Nsikak questioned her rival on the right she had to give food to her children,
it was learnt that the alleged bed-shearer immediately called her lover, Okon.
It
was further learnt that on receiving the call, Okon quickly came back and
started beating his wife, whom Southern City News gathered, was a nursing
mother.
Okon,
having gone wild, violently pushed his wife out from the house after beating
her and locked the door against her around 2am. It was learnt that the woman
collapsed after the push.
All
these, according to a source, happened without interference from neighbours,
but at dawn, the woman was seen struggling with breathing in front of the
compound.
The
neighbours who were angry, dragged Okon outside and compelled him to carry his
wife’s remains.
One
of Nsikak’s friends, Mrs. Beauty, who spoke on the incident, described the
incident as painful and shameful.
Beauty
accused Okon of ignoring his responsibility as a husband, regretting that he
(Okon) rather preferred to flirt around with women in his compound.
“This
man, popularly called Papa David, never took care of his family. He is sleeping
around with women, including married women. He is a driver in a very big
company, yet his wife was suffering, catering for the children and even him.
“Her
death is very painful. The man will never go unpunished. He has killed her now.
So, who will take care of the little children? The youngest baby is less than
two years old.”
The
police said there was no formal report of the incident made to the command
before the corpse was moved to Akwa Ibom.
