ILORIN — Tragedy struck, yesterday, at Oloje area
of Ilorin when a housewife simply identified as
Mariam allegedly struck her bricklayer husband to
death with a stick following altercations  between
them over N100.
Vanguard reliably gathered that the woman, a
mother of four all late, had recently returned into
her matrimonial home after she parted ways with
her  husband following irreconcilable differences.
The incident which occurred yesterday, had since
thrown the community into mourning as
sympathisers thronged the deceased’s compound.
An eye-witness told Vanguard that their
relationship went sour again yesterday morning,
leading to a hot argument between them over N100
which the woman was said to have demanded from
the husband.
The deceased,the source added, was said to have
told the wife that he had no money which did not go
down well with the wife thereby degenerating into a
hot argument between them.
During the process, the wife was said to have
picked a stick and hit the husband on his head and
he fainted.
He was immediately rushed to a nearby private
hospital where he was pronounced dead.
As the news of the man’s death filtered in,the
woman on realising the gravity of the incident was
said to have locked herself up in a room and
inflicted wounds on her body using a razor blade.
To avert another tragedy, residents of the area,
according to sources, forced the door open and
dragged the culprit out naked before the police were
invited to effect her arrest.
When Vanguard visited the decease ‘s family
compound,family members and resident of the area
maintained sealed leaps.
