An aged man in Nsit Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state has macheted his 60 year old wife to death.
According to reports, the man, Ita Daniel Okpo carried out the attack on his
wife Alice Ita Daniel, while she was sleeping.

Narrating the story to newsmen on the 16th of June, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department, Mike Okoli, said.

    “This man, Ita Daniel Okpo, in a most wicked act, slaughtered his wife with a machete and we arrested him. When asked, he admitted to killing his wife but said the late wife, Alice, always quarreled with him and that she was the first to lift the machete. Gentlemen, but our findings revealed that the woman was sleeping when she was hacked to death”,

Owning up to his crime, the man admitted to killing his wife but said he took the action after finding out his late wife was sleeping with other men.

    “I regret my act, but I was forced to kill her because it was too much on me. In fact, at a point, she openly told me she would rather kill me than to stop sleeping with these men. To match words with action, she had been fighting me several times. So, on that fateful day, while we fought, I killed her” he said

    The suspect will be charged to court soon.
