A woman, Nwadiokeonu Nwachukwu has gotten her hand cut off
by her husband, Jacob Nwachukwu at Abala in Obingwa, Abia State for allegedly
cheating on him. She is said to be currently receiving treatment at a hospital
in Aba, while her severed hand had been taken to her husband’s village at Abala
for burial.
A female co-tenant of Mrs. Nwachukwu, who pleaded anonymity,
told Southern City News that the couple had lived in the city for years before
the husband lost his job and had to relocate to the village, leaving his wife,
a trader, in the city.
According to neighbours, the couple frequently quarrel anytime the man visited from the village.
The source alleged to Southern City News that Mr. Nwachukwu’s intention was to
kill his wife with the machete but missed the target as the woman was said to
have used her hand to defend herself before it was severed.
The wife’s suspected lover is said to be on the run while
her landlord reported the incident to a police station close to the hospital
along Ogbor Hill, where the woman is currently on admission.
The Area Commander, Aba Police Command, Mr. Peter Wabara,
said the incident had yet to be reported to him. However, a police officer at
Ogbor Hill Police Station confirmed the incident.
