Mother of 4 kills husband over N100 in Ilorin

ILORIN — Tragedy struck, yesterday, at Oloje area of Ilorin
when a housewife simply identified as Mariam allegedly
struck her bricklayer husband to death with a stick following
altercations between them over N100.

Vanguard reliably gathered that the woman, a mother of four
all late, had recently returned into her matrimonial home after
she parted ways with her husband following irreconcilable
differences.

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

An eye-witness told Vanguard 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 Vanguard visited the decease 's family compound, family members and resident of the area maintained sealed leaps.
