A 84-year-old Gabriel Ahuwa was on Wednesday August 16, paraded by the Edo State Police Command for allegedly killing his 75 years old wife over refusal to have s3x with him.

The Octogenarian was among 198 suspects paraded by the Command for different crimes including armed robbery, kidnapping, unlawful possession of fire arms, murder, cultist among others crimes.

Parading the suspects spokesperson of the Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, said one of the suspects, Gabriel Uhuwa, has been having issue with his wife, over refussal to have sex with him whenever he asked for s3x as husband.

He said the suspect was not remorseful rather he felt what he did was the best solution to his problem.

Speaking with journalists, Gabriel said his wife refused to have s3x with him for a long time.

“My wife is not listening to me, anytime I ask her to come and sleep with me, she always decline. We have seven children together five boys and two girls”

He said he had reported the matter to his children and that one of her daughters came to talk to hid wife but she didn’t listen.

“I reported the matter to my family and her family but she failed to listen to them and continued her old ways and I was hearing information that pastors are sleeping with her.

“Each time I demanded for s3x, either she would tell me she is sick or she has ulcer, yet I have been hearing rumour that she is sleeping with other men and I don’t have money to carry prostitutes,” he added.

According to him, following his complaints, his children had refused to send him money as well as pick his calls, alleging that his late wife poisoned their minds toward him.

“So, on Saturday last week in the afternoon in the house, I picked up a cutlass and macheted her all over her body. I did it in anger because she is not obeying me and I want people to know of it,” he said.

He, however, said he regretted killing his wife after committing the crime.

But one of his sons who craved anonymity denied the allegation of abandoning their father, saying they sent money to him five days ago.
