Police Arrest Woman for Killing Husband in Abia

The Abia police command has arrested one Mrs Rose Uwaga for allegedly strangling her 83-year-old husband, Alhaji Isa Uwaga, in Umuahia, the state capital.

Police spokesman Geoffrey Ogbonnaya confirmed the arrest of the woman, who was said to be in her early 70s in Umuahia.

Ogbonnaya said that one of Uwaga’s children, Ibeabuchi, reported the matter to the police on July 2.

Reports say, the aged couple had a disagreement, which degenerated into arguments at their residence at Ohobo-Afara Umuahia.
