Tuesday, May 20, 2025 - A shoemaker in Aba, Abia State allegedly k!lled his wife and baby over what was described as continued hardship, which rendered him unable to provide the feeding needs of his family.
Sun Daily reports that the man simply identified as
Udokwukwu, from Onicha Ngwa, in Obingwa Council Area of the state but resident

He was said to be unhappy with a reported alleged infidelity
by his wife who had gone to his shop to collect feeding money, which he
couldn’t provide.
Residents of the area say he got angry by the wife’s
approach and returned home with a can of fuel that he poured in the apartment
while the family was already asleep and set it ablaze, killing his wife
identified as Mary and their little baby.
He was later found de@d the following day by family members,
who suspected that he might have been k!lled in a reprisal attack by yet to be
identified aggrieved persons for k!lling his family members.
Though the dead bodies have been deposited in a local
mortuary by the police in the area, the state command was yet to comment on the
k!llings as of the time of filing this report.
