A tragic incident occurred yesterday, when a housewife simply identified as Mariam, allegedly struck her bricklayer husband to death with a stick following a disagreement between them over N100.

The incident happened at Oloje area of Ilorin in Kwara State.

The mother of 4 (all deceased),  was said to have recently returned to her matrimonial home after she had earlier parted ways with her husband over ‘irreconcilable’ differences.

Vanguard reports:

The incident which occurred yesterday, had since thrown the community into mourning as sympathisers thronged the deceased’s compound.

An eye-witness told newsmen that  their relationship went sour again yesterday morning, leading to a hot argument between them  over N100 which the woman was said to have demanded from the husband.

The deceased, the source added, was said to have told the wife that he had no money which did not go down well with the wife thereby degenerating into a hot argument between them.

During the process, the wife was said to have picked a stick and hit the husband on his head and he fainted.

He was immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital where he was pronounced dead.

As the news of the man’s death filtered in, the woman on realising the gravity of the incident was said to have locked herself up in a room and inflicted wounds on her body using a razor blade.

To avert another tragedy, residents of the area, according to sources, forced the door open and dragged the culprit out naked before the police were invited to effect her arrest.

When journalists visited the deceased’s  family compound, family members and residents of the area maintained sealed leaps.
