Man Beats Wife to Death Over ₦2000 loan in Edo

The Police Command in Edo state has apprehended a man simply identified as Christopher over an alleged beaten of his wife, Mrs Isoken Christopher, to death.

The suspect, who works with a waste disposal company in Benin, reportedly beat his wife to death over her refusal to offer him N2,000 loan.

Christopher, 45 who was described as a chain smoker and drunk by the eldest of his three children, Augustine, beat the businesswoman to death on Saturday night at No. 1, Agbontaen Street beside Ebvareke Secondary School, off Agboniro Street, Uselu, Benin, the Edo State capital.

13-year-old Augustine narrated his father attempted escaping from their room-and-parlour apartment after killing his mother, but was apprehended and handed over to the police.

Augustine further stated his father usually manhandled their mother, a fashion items’ dealer, at the slightest provocation.

Christopher had called the deceased on phone to demand for a N2, 000 loan but was refused. He commenced beating Isoken as he returned home around 9pm on Saturday.

According to Augustine, “I tried to give my mother paracetamol and drinking water after the initial beating but my father threw them away.

“She then went to bathe after which she lied down outside to rest a little before coming inside to sleep but my father locked us inside the room and resumed the beating of my weak mother outside.

“Neighbours later helped us (the three children) to open the door, only to see our dead mother on the ground. She was then rushed to two different hospitals in the neighbourhood where she was confirmed dead.”

Isoken’s corpse have since been deposited in a morgue in Benin by policemen.

Confirming the incident, the Edo Police Public Relations Officer, Bello Kotongs, noted that the suspect had been detained at the Textile Mill Police Station, Benin.

He said suspect would be transferred on Monday to Edo Police Headquarters at the Government Reservation Area (GRA) for further investigation.

“The man (Christopher) asked his wife to loan him some money (N2,000) out of the money she made at a burial she earlier attended on Saturday. When she refused, he then beat her to death.”

Kontongs added that the timely arrival of the police at the scene saved the alleged killer husband from being mobbed by angry youths in the area.
