Man Stabs Wife To Death For Bearing Female Children
A 48 years old man(name with held)has allegedly killed his wife for not being able to give birth to a male child.
The deceased, 46, simply identified as Mama Feyi, was heavily pregnant when she was allegedly stabbed to death by the husband during an early morning dispute.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the
alleged murderer who hails from Abusoro area in Akure, Ondo State, has since been arrested and is presently being detained at the Ala divisional police station.

I decided to ignore them at first but when the noise was getting unbearable, I stepped into their room only to find the lifeless body of the woman on the floor, lying in the pool of her blood. I saw the man holding a knife and he threatened to stab me if I don’t leave.
Isijola continued, “It was when I discovered that he may abscond that I alerted the police who immediately came to arrest him.”
Naratting the incident, daughter of the deceased, Feyisara, said, “It all started on Sunday after my mummy. had cooked rice. She asked me to go and collect money from my father to prepare stew and on getting to him, he started shouting. But he later gave me N500 which my mum refused to collect. They both argued and had a fight. I had to make a distress call to neighbours to settle the dispute”.
Accor ding to the daughter of the deceased, “the quarrel started at about 6am when my mum asked him to give her some money for her ante-natal but he refused. They started figh ting and before we knew it, daddy brought out a knife and stabbed mummy to death.
