Marital Peace Meeting Turns Tragic as Man Allegedly Hacks Wife to Death in Ekiti
Gbenga Sodeinde in Ado Ekiti
What was expected to be a last-ditch effort to reconcile a troubled marriage reportedly ended in tragedy on Wednesday when a 25-year-old woman, Kehinde Onizeokaraga, was allegedly hacked to death by her husband during a peace meeting in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.
The deceased’s husband, Ibrahim Sodiq, popularly known as Alfa Eleran and said to be a meat seller, allegedly attacked her with a machete after a disagreement escalated at the residence of a family acquaintance in the Dallimore area of the town.
The couple, who are natives of Kogi State, had reportedly been battling persistent marital problems, prompting elders and family associates to intervene in an effort to save the marriage.
