A middle- aged man in Makurdi, Benue State, has beaten his wife, Victoria, to death after accusing her of committing adultery.

The man, identified as Moses Abelegah, who lives behind Saint Augustine Catholic Church, Demekpe in Makurdi, has been arrested by the police.

The P.M.News gathered that trouble started when the woman, a nurse who was working at a private hospital in Makurdi, informed her husband that she was on relief duty and had to go work. She claimed she was on night duty that day to relieve one of her colleagues.

P.M.News learnt that the suspicious husband, who granted his wife’s request, later went to the hospital to ascertain if the wife was at work as she claimed. But to his amazement, the woman was not at her duty post.

The infuriated husband, P.M.News further learnt, spent hours waiting for his wife throughout the night at her wife’s place of work.

The woman eventually showed up at work the following morning only to meet her husband who had been waiting for her.

An eye witness told P.M.News that a brawl ensued in the hospital between the duo, when Moses interrogated his spouse and accused her of adultery.

The fight between the man and the wife continued at their residence, which eventually led to the death of woman.

She was said to have been severely battered by the enraged Moses.

The Benue State Commissioner of Police , Mr. Ibiyinka Kayode, who confirmed the incident in a telephone chat with P.M.News in Makurdi and the arrest of the deceased’s husband said investigation into the matter was still going on, adding that the accused will soon be charged to court.

He, however, appealed to the people of the state not to take laws in their hands and that they should report any suspicious character to the law enforcement agents for necessary investigation

But whosoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it[b] destroys his own soul [/b]. proverb 6 verse 32

Notwitstanding, but the truth is that,what if it was this man that was caught in the act, would his wife go to the extent of killing the husband?A good example of injustices and torments woman go through in marriage and relationship.When a woman in the Bible was caught in this same act,the pharisees brought the woman to Jesus to get his opinion,alas Jesus response made all the pharisees to bolt away because they were also found wanting in similar act or something close to that.
Am not holding brief for this lady but am just saying here that,the man does not need to take it that far,,,just feel for the kids if they have any,,also I think if love is lost btw couple after marriage and they bought can't hold it any more, the best is for them to be civil enough than killing one another all in the name of love and marriage.

Aren't the Police wife beaters themselves?

Pathetic.

That "man" is a gay! Even if the woman cheated on him, he had no right to kill her!

I don't understand why women choose to marry scumbags like this man. That attitude of punching the wife in the face did not come from nowhere, he most likely has been punching her face even before they got married. Well, I've heard countless times that women like "bad boys", oya make una come see bad boy carry go!

Very good question. This is the reason why a lot of times they let men like this go free. It's the same with many pastors in Nigeria. They beat up their wives so they will usually tell a female church member that she should not leave her marriage because their husband is simply beating the crap out of her day and night. Hypocrites!!!!!!!

Oh woe! The Victoria of this world are being tormented left and right

Men can be great pretenders.
They can be the greatest of charmers while they're courting women.
After that, the veil is removed and they become impossible and bastardic.

The setting of the story does not surprise me.
When has justice been ever served to Naija women, esp the middleclass women.
We have suffered, we have cried, but our voice has never been heard.
Unfairness!!! The things our women go through in that babaric country.
And yet they dared to call us the inferior sex!! How dare they!
If only naija women, irrespectable of tribe and language, can join together and plead the ending of this sufferage. It needs to end, it should have ended.

I despise domestic violence, be it male or female abuse.
But time has arrived for Naija men to get educated, to step down and let our voice be heard.
Yur daughters will someday be women, will someday be wives, will someday be mothers.
Get educated and cease this epidemic.

And some people dare to tell me that I hate naija men.

I have no hate for the men of my flesh.

It is the anger and irritation that results from what I witness.

We live in a country where democracy is written in our law, yet we fail to practice it.

It is just plain cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the man sef is probly cheating, adultery and fornication is very rampant among those tivs.
