MATHIAS Nweze, a native of Umuida, Enugu-Ezike in Igboeze North local government area of Enugu State, has reportedly shot his wife dead.
The police said yesterday, that they had commenced investigation into the bizarre incident which occurred at about 11pm last Saturday.
Nweze, popularly known as “Honourable”, claimed that while he was sleeping in his house that fateful night, his generator went off twice without knowing the cause.
Having woken up suddenly, he suspected that some thieves may have invaded his compound and as a result, brought out his pump action gun and pointed it towards the direction of the generator.
Without wasting time, he allegedly fired several shots apparently to scare the alleged invaders but unknown to him, his wife was around the place.
Nweze only realized that he had shot his wife when she screamed saying that the bullet had hit her. The woman fell down, bled profusely before sympathizers rushed to the scene.
She was later rushed to New Testament Hospital Ogrute, Igboeze North council headquarter where doctors confirmed her dead.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident, said the corpse of the deceased had been deposited at the mortuary for autopsy. “We have commenced investigation into the incident that led to the shooting of a housewife by the husband,” he said.

If you want to scare thieves away, wont you shoot into the air? Why point your gun horizontally? The man has case to answer.
ReplyDeleteThe story by this man should be properly verified. Why did he not check for the members of his household before shooting...very fishy indeed!
ReplyDeleteI guess the man does not sleep with his wife or did they have scores that they have not settled & decided to use that opportunity to send her to early grave,if they sleeps together,definitely,he must know that since his wife wasnt on the bed,she must be puting somethings in other.So am suggestn they should do investigation to find out if they have or been having misunderstanding.
