Eighty four-4-year-old Gabriel Ahuwa has been arrested for allegedly killing his 75-year-old wife for denying him sex.
The spokesman of the Edo State Police command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, announced this in Benin, saying Nwabuzor is among the 198 suspects apprehended in the state for armed robbery, kidnapping and murder, among others.
”The suspect is not remorseful. After killing his wife, he still claimed that his action was the only solution to her starving him of sex.
The suspect said his wife had been denying him sex for a long time.
“My wife does not listen to me. Anytime I asked her to come and sleep with me, she would decline. We have given birth to seven children.
“I reported my wife to my family and hers too, but she failed to listen to them and continued with her old ways.
“Meanwhile, I heard that she has been sleeping with some pastors,” the suspect said.
He, however, said he regretted his action.
