(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A 45-year-old man simply identified as Mr Christopher, on Saturday night beat his 39 year-old wife to death over N2,000.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the incident happened at No.1, Agbontaen Street, beside Ebvareke Secondary School, off Agboniro Street, Uselu, Benin City.
The man was said to have beaten up his wife, Mrs Isoken Christopher, a mother of three following her failure to give him the N2, 000 loan he requested from her.
The eldest child of the deceased, Augustine Christopher, noted that his mother was hale and hearty before the sad incident.
The 13-years old boy explained that his father, who is a menial worker with a waste manager in Benin, always beat his mother at the slightest provocation.
