Wife kills her husband after he caught her with another man in Edo

Abdulateef, a man, was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife after he caught her with another man in their marital home.

The incident occurred around 3 a.m. on Sunday in Jattu, Etsako West LGA of Edo State, when the woman stabbed her husband when he returned home and discovered a man in their bedroom with her.
“The man was living with two wives in his house, but had to rent an apartment for his first wife in a different location to allow peace to reign, while staying with the junior one in the house,” according to a reliable source.

“He used to visit the first wife and spend some nights there, but there had been rumours that another man was visiting the junior wife anytime he was with the senior wife in the rented apartment.”

The source said on the faithful night, Abdulateef came from his first wife’s place and met a man with his junior wife in their bedroom.

“He got hold of the visitor, and in the process, the woman stabbed him twice in the stomach, apparently to pave the way for the alleged lover to flee and make it look like a robbery attack,” the source explained.

“Abdulateef died as a result of his injuries before assistance arrived. The police arrived just in time to save the wife from being murdered by a mob.”
