Man on the run after killing pregnant wife

A bereaved father, Adun Samuel, has offered to pay N100,000 to anybody that could provide information leading to the arrest of his son-in-law simply identified as Inuaghata, for killing his pregnant daughter, Osaretin.

Mr. Adun, who spoke to journalists in Benin City, said his daughter has three children for the fleeing husband. Adun said he was called that his daughter has been killed by her husband. He stated that the son in-law fled into hiding since May 24 when he committed the offence

His words, “I hail from Orhionmwon local government area. My daughter was killed by her husband. She was 23 years old. The incident happened at Egba on the 24th of May. I do not understand the problem they have. I was called that my daughter has been killed. He used knife to slit her throat. My daughter was pregnant when she was killed. I want the boy arrested.

“I will give anybody that give information leading to his arrest the sum of N100,000. The boy had not formally married my daughter. His parents are both dead. I have called his brother. He ran away after killing my daughter. His name is Inuaghata.”

Efforts to get the reaction of the police to the gory incident was unsuccessful as the Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, refused to pick repeated calls made to him and also ignored the sms sent to him to respond to the issue.
