Ebonyi state is gradually becoming Nigeria’s most violent state followed by the troubled Northern part of the country.
A woman identified as Blessing Onyibe Nwogbagami recently took law into her hands when she hacked her troublesome husband, Onwe Nwogbagami to death in his sleep after a quarrel.
25-year-old Blessing, a mother of one said her husband is fond of threatening to hack her to death each time they quarrel.
Read her confession:
“My husband was fond of chasing me with cutlass whenever we have misunderstanding. Whenever he brings out his cutlass, I will run out of the house for him. On that particular day, October 13, 2014, I had a misunderstanding with him and immediately he picked up his cutlass and chased me out of the house. Later he went to an uncompleted building to sleep.
“Then I said to myself before my husband will kill me, let me kill him first. While he was asleep I went to where he kept his cutlass and killed him. Then I ran to my husband’s village at Ntezi Nkaliki and told the kinsmen that I killed my husband.”
She was taken to a nearby police station and placed in detention after making the bone chilling murder confession.
Her daughter has been handed over to the Social Welfare Department of Ebonyi State for care.
