Tragedy, brutality or what have you of the highest order was witnessed at No. 45 Azubuike Street, Uratta/Express in Aba, Abia State when a trailer owner and driver mindlessly sent his wife to early grave in a questionable circumstance. Ndubuisi Okafor, who hails from Amawbia, Awka in Anambra state has been having a squabble with his wife Chinyere 40, who hailed from Obingwu Asa in Ukwa west Local Government of Abia state. Although the two have been having many scores to settle before the last incident. Chinyere was not feeling ok and she requested for some money from the husband to buy herself some drugs but the husband roundly refused her plea. This did not go down well with his wife Chinyere. The mother of three picked her phone to call her sister intimating her of her ordeal in the hands of her husband. Eventually, the husband decided to give her the money after which, he traveled to Port Harcourt. On coming back from Port Harcourt, he brought up the case again. As argument ensued, he brought out petrol and forced the wife to drink it, poured the rest on her, beat her silly and set her ablaze. Her cry for help forced their neighbours to intervene but by the time they could get to her, she had sustained first degree burn. She was taken to the first hospitals but was rejected due to the magnitude of her burn. Later, she was taken to Living Word Mission Hospital where she was admitted and administered with first aid. Thereafter, she was referred to UNTH, Enugu. On their way to UNTH 2 kilometers from the hospital at Osisioma, she gave up. On learning of the wife's death, the husband reported himself tot he police but alleged that his wife set herself ablaze.
But many of the woman's relatives have accused the man of using the wife for money ritual. It was gathered that the husband, Nnaemeka Okafor has given the wife an unequaled persecution due to her christian faith. He destroyed her bible in the past and accused her of being an impediment in his bid to making real money in life.
The neigbours have all escaped to avoid being arrested in connection with the incident.
