“Men go through a lot” – Man makes case for husband who strangled his pregnant wife to death for opening gate late in Anambra

On Facebook, a man who is married has generated diverse responses by advocating for a man who strangled his pregnant wife to death in Anambra.

Yesterday, Ikechukwu Obiora made headlines for murdering his wife as she was slow to open the gate for him when he came back home.

In August of last year, the man wedded his wife, Ebere Uzuegbunam, but tragically, barely seven months later on March 2, 2023, he strangled her to death.

After being summoned by his in-laws to account for the death of their daughter, he confessed to the crime.

“I returned home in the morning of March 2, 2023, and was knocking at the gate, but my wife did not open the gate immediately. In that anger, I started shouting at her. I first slapped and hit her from the gate to the house before angrily grabbing her by the neck and strangling her” the suspect said.

In response to the news, a Facebook user named Ikpeazu Chinedu Bright stated that the husband may not have been aware that grabbing his wife’s neck could result in her death.

Chinedu further suggested that women should receive guidance to remain committed to their marriages to prevent their husbands from turning to physical assault as a result of anger.

Drawing from his own marital experience, he pointed out that his wife’s excessive phone use and occasional tardiness in cooking can be frustrating.

He expressed concern that if he ever lost his cool and physically abused her, he would be viewed as a monster, without anyone knowing that his wife had provoked the attack.

Chinedu concluded by stating that men experience a lot of challenges in marriage.
