In common stories, we hear that husband stabs wife, husband beats wife, but in his case, the reverse is what we are hearing.  well some women really have strong hearts but regardless this is so unusual.


A young couple’s union has ended tragically in Ondo with the 16-year-old wife stabbing his husband to death during an argument. The murder incident, which occurred last Monday at Omolere/Mobil area of Akure threw the metropolis into shock and disbelief.

The housewife and mother of two, Ebere Ogu stabbed her husband, Chinedu Patrick Ogu, 31, in the stomach during a squabble, which broke out over the proposed visit of the husband’s mother from the village.

The wife, it was learnt, had kicked against her husband’s move to invite his mother to Akure from his village in Imo State. The husband too was said to have insisted that his mother must be in Akure for medical treatment

“The people there were shocked and most of them took to their heels which gave Ebere the opportunity to escape with her two kids to an unknown destination.”

The incident, it was gathered, was later reported at the police station while the police and some residents of the area were said to have made futile efforts to track the fleeing wife.

The husband, it was learnt, was rushed to the Ondo State Specialist Hospital where doctors confirmed him dead.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Wole Ogodo, assistant superintendent of police (ASP) who confirmed the report, described it as pathetic and unfortunate.

Ogodo said it was the landlord who reported the incident to the police, adding that the police had since stepped into the matter.

He said the policemen dispatched to the scene found the victim dead, saying he died from the knife injury inflicted on him by his wife.
