Operatives of Edo State Police Command, have arrested an 84-year-old man, Gabriel Ahuwa for allegedly killing his 75-year-old wife for denying him s3x.
The father of seven children alleged that his wife had refused to have s3x with him for a very long time.
The octogenarian who spoke with journalists said he reported the matter to his children and one of her daughters came to talk to his wife but she didn’t give attention to it.
According to the elderly man, his wife is not listening to him, anytime he asked her to come and sleep with him, she always declines. Even when she knows that they have seven children together, five boys and two girls.
He said “I reported the matter to my family and her family, but she failed to listen to them and continue her old ways, and I was hearing information that pastors were sleeping with her.
“Each time I demanded s3x, either she would tell me she is sick or she has an ulcer, yet I am hearing a rumor that she is sleeping with other men and I don’t have money to carry prostitutes.”
The grandpa also indicted his late wife for ‘poisoning’ his children’s minds, thereby making them stop sending him money or picking up his calls.
He said “So on Saturday last week in the afternoon, in the house, I picked up a cutlass and [cut] her all over her body. I did it in anger because she is not obeying me and I want people to know of it.”
He however said he regretted killing his wife after committing the crime.
One of his sons who don’t want his name to be mentioned however denied the allegation of abandoning their father, adding that they sent money to him five days ago.
The elderly man was among the 198 suspects paraded by the Edo State Police Command for various offenses ranging from alleged armed robbery, kidnapping, unlawful possession of firearms, murder, cultism, and other social vices.
