Woman Stabs Husband because of Election Argument

We have reported about a man who is likely to
leave his wife for voting Goodluck Jonathan in the
presidential election but we never saw a murder
coming out of this election.
Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 26-
year-old pregnant woman for allegedly stabbing her
husband to death during a quarrel over who would
emerge winner between the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidates, while voting was ongoing
at Ejigbo area of the state. The incident reportedly
happened at the couple’s one room apartment at
81 Military zone junction.
Although accounts of the incident differ, one thing
was consistent; the incident emanated from an
argument over politics.
According to an account, while the husband
decided to vote for the PDP, his wife, simply called
Onyiyechi, voted for the APC in the presidential
election. This was not a problem initially, until an
argument over whose choice would win ensued.
Onyiyechi allegedly stabbed her husband with a
kitchen knife in the chest region, in the process.
“We were all outside waiting to vote when
Onyiyechi rushed out, shouting for help. Out of
curiosity, we all ran inside, only to discover blood
all over the ground, on entering their apartment,” a
neighbour told Vanguard.
“On closer observation, we noticed that the blood
was from her husband chest region. We met him
on the ground. Before we could rush him to the
hospital, he gave up the ghost.
“Perhaps, he would have survived the attack had
Onyiyechi called for help early. From all indication,
it was clear that she attempted to manage the
situation immediately the incident occurred. It was
when she discovered that the situation had
overwhelmed her that she raised alarm.
“I do not know the name of her husband. We only
know that of his wife, who we fondly call
Onyiyechi. The irony of this matter is that she is
not cantankerous.
“She has never beaten a little child, let alone to
fight with any neighbour. Again on that day, we saw
both of them together. They were seen sitting
outside, one hour before the incident occurred.
Policemen from Ejigbo later came to remove the
corpse to the Isolo morgue.”
