A woman, Wunmi Omowa, has allegedly stabbed her police husband, Israel, to
death during a free-for-all at the Olu Foam area of Akure, Ondo State.
A police source said the couple had a misunderstanding which degenerated
into a free-for-all, adding that the inspector's wife rushed to the kitchen and
returned with a knife which he used to stab her husband in the neck.
The source said the deceased died while he was being rushed to the hospital.
A neighbour, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that
nobody knew the cause of the fight.
He said, "Wunmi must have stabbed her husband in the neck to avenge the
beating she got from the deceased on the fateful day because she had
bruises on her face.
"She called us to help her rush the deceased to a private hospital, but he
eventually died.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Femi Joseph, explained that the
deceased died as a result of loss of blood.
Joseph said the late cop was a member of the Fast Strike Squad in the state.
The PPRO said, "We have commenced investigation into the death, while the
suspect has been arrested."
