A tragic incident has sparked outrage in Delta State after a woman, identified as Nora, allegedly lost her life following a violent altercation with her husband over claims that she visited another man.
According to reports, Nora had informed her husband, Emma, that she wanted to visit Cyril, the husband of her late friend, Jennifer, who reportedly died during childbirth.
Nora's sister claimed in an audio statement that, "My sister came to tell her husband, 'One of my friends, Cyril, that guy who was our photographer at our marriage, his wife died through operation. I want to go and see him.' He said, 'Okay.'"
She said Nora later went to visit Cyril alongside another sister before returning home in the evening. However, her husband allegedly became furious, accusing her of seeing another man despite her explanation.
"But I told you I want to go and visit, greet my friend whose wife died. It was me and my sister that went," she was said to have told him.
The narrator alleged that Emma attacked Nora with an iron object, chased her outside their home, and continued the assault in the presence of their three children, aged 8, 5, and 1.
"Na him use iron whip my sister. She fell into the swamp water. Her husband left her body like that," the relative claimed.
According to the account, Emma allegedly returned about two hours later, found Nora lying motionless, and then raised the alarm.
