A meat seller, Sodiq Ibrahim, has allegedly macheted his 25-year-old wife, Kehinde Onizeokaraga, to death during a marital disagreement in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.

Sources, who said the incident happened on Wednesday, said the couple, who hailed from Kogi State, had been experiencing domestic challenges, which reportedly culminated in the fatal attack on the woman.

A source said in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, “I am aware they had issues in the marriage to the extent that the lady had left the man’s house due to some irreconcilable differences.

“But recently, there were efforts by the suspect to resolve the issue with her, which the deceased was not comfortable with,” the source said.

According to the source, the disagreement reportedly escalated into a physical confrontation, during which Sodiq allegedly attacked Kehinde repeatedly with a machete, inflicting severe injuries that eventually led to her death.
