Wednesday, January 29, 2025 - The Enugu State Police Command, through its operatives attached to Okpuje Division, on January 26, 2025, arrested one Sunday Echege, a 33-year-old male resident of Ibagwa-Agu Farm Settlement in Ibagwa-Ani community, Nsukka LGA, for severing the left wrist of his wife, Chinonso Echege.
The arrest was made possible with the assistance of law-abiding members
of the community, and the machete used in committing the crime was recovered
from the suspect.
Preliminary investigations reveal that the suspect, who has confessed to
the crime, claimed he acted out of suspicion that his wife was involved in
extramarital affairs.
Confirming the arrest, the spokesperson of the command, SP Daniel
Ndukwe, says the suspect will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of
investigations.
Ndukwe added that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu,
has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal
Investigation Department (CID) to ensure a thorough and timely investigation,
followed by the prosecution of the suspect. He further urged couples to resolve
their differences through love, understanding, and legal means, rather than
resorting to violent criminal acts.
