Father of seven, 84, kills wife after she declines sex

The Edo State Police Command has detained 84-year-old Gabriel Uhuwa for allegedly killing his wife for refusing to have sex with him.

On Wednesday, the command announced the arrest of 198 people for offenses ranging from murder and cultism to armed robbery, abduction, and illicit possession of guns.

Uhuwa was detained, according to the command’s public relations officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, for allegedly killing his 75-year-old wife for refusing to engage in sexual relations with him.

According to Nwabuzor, Uhuwa and his wife have been at odds over her claimed refusal to engage in sexual activity with him whenever he requested it.

He claimed that the elderly man had no regrets and believed that what he had done was the best way to solve his problem.

Uhuwa explained to reporters that his wife was not paying attention to him. She constantly said no when I invited her to join me in bed. Together, we have seven kids: five boys and two girls. The suspect claimed that after discussing the situation with his children, one of her daughters went to talk to the suspect’s wife but she refused to listen.

“I brought up the issue with my family and her family members, but she didn’t listen to them and kept acting the same way she always had, and I was hearing rumors that pastors were having affairs with her.

The suspect continued, “Each time I requested sex, she would either claim to be ill or to have an ulcer, but I was hearing a rumor that she was sleeping with other men and I don’t have money to take prostitutes.

He said that after filing a complaint, his children stopped sending him money and answering his calls, claiming that his late wife had incited them to hate him.

So I grabbed a cutlass and macheted her in the house on Saturday last week in the afternoon. She wasn’t following me, so I did it out of rage, and I want everybody to know about it, he continued.

But after completing the act, he admitted that he had regretted killing his wife.
