A US based Nigerian medical doctor has shot his wife and thereafter turned the gun on himself.
The incident happened in Texas , Saturday morning .
The couple whose wife is a nurse are blessed with three children.
No one could tell the reason for his action but this is how USA based veteran journalist Azuka Jebose reported the incident
"*Morning Texas Tragedy*
At sunrise this cold Saturday, Dr. Ben Okigbo, a medical doctor in Houston, pulled up a handgun and fatally shot his wife. His wife was a nurse too. A few seconds later he turned the gun on himself. These hours their three children are dealing with the tragedy of losing their parents at home. We will never know why Dr. Okigbo, decided to kill his wife and commit suicide thereafter.
It’s my understanding that Dr. Okigbo was originally from *Idumuje Unor* while his wife was from *Akwukwu Igbo*, both towns are in Delta State of Nigeria. This is a developing story. *Stay With Me*

Terrible Tragedy. Their children will be under trauma presently. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
ReplyDeleteMay there soul rest in peace. The investigating team should carry out a DNA test first without the knowledge of the kids....
DeleteThere is something fishy in their marriage. But that was a stupid act
DeleteDr. Okigbo probably found out he wasn't the biological father of the kids.
ReplyDeletenot really,our men don't like disagreement with their wives. they want slaves as wives.
DeleteIt's sad news. May their souls rest in peace. Amen. We appeal to Texan authorities, and churches to help the children they left behind. That will be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI could be speaking from an African understanding, re there no mistakes with DNA tests? Am not talking abt weather the man found out the kids weren't his or not,just 4d records,its possible that couldn't hv been d reason he snuffed out his wife n himself.
ReplyDeleteMay God almighty forgive his since abd his wife
ReplyDeleteThey cant treat white lady like this,then why doing it to home lady.They should understand the meaning of seperation or divorce.
ReplyDeleteThe underlying cause should be investigated thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't have to kill her.
ReplyDeleteHe also killed the children technically. I am so devastated.
Sometimes arrogance between couple might be the cause of this tragedy, this is synonymous with Nigerians in Texas
ReplyDeleteOh Lord, put an end to this wickedness against marriage.
ReplyDeleteNo one is safe anymore because of marriage
What is going on with this world
No matter what their problems are death is not a solution. May heal the children of the trauma and stigma.

ReplyDeleteThis is bad
ReplyDeleteMay they rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteMay they rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't have gone to the extent of shedding blood
ReplyDeleteIt's indeed tragic! What could have gone wrong? My heart goes out these traumatized children orphaned by their dad's action.
ReplyDeleteIt is better to seek counsel for a turbulent relationship than committing suicide. Divorce is even a better option. May God help the children get along with the trauma and stigma.
