The police in Benin Monday paraded Uwaila Idehen, the
35-year-old man who shot and killed his wife and two sons in Benin, Edo State.
The incident occurred on Sunday at Ovbioge village, in Ovia
North-East Local Government Areas of the state.
Uwaila who confessed to killing the victims said he did not
know what came over him when he carried out the act.
He alleged that he bought the English-made double barrel
rifle from a late police officer, licensed it and sometimes use it for hunting.
He said, “I am a tipper driver. We are two children in my
family, my elder sister and me. I am 35 years old. My wife had three children
for me, a girl and two boys. The girl is six years, and the boys were three and
two years old respectively.
“I don’t know what came over me, and I was not drunk. Due to
the nature of my job, my wife always accused me of having affairs with other
women, but it is not true.
“At times, when she sees me with my female customers, she
will start an argument with me, but I always assure her that there was nothing
like that and that my concern was how to take care of the three kids we had
together.
“I always walk away whenever she got me provoked but that
Sunday, I don’t know what came over me. Instead of just leaving the house, I
picked up my gun and shot through the door and the bullet pierced through the
plywood door and hit my wife and the two boys. The girl narrowly escaped.”
The state Police Commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, said the
suspect would be charged for murder and perhaps unlawful possession of a
firearm.

Frustration caused this, what a pity, he has to face the punishment since ignorance is not an excuse in the court of law.
