A Nigerian man, Nnanna Emeka allegedly killed his 4-month-old pregnant wife for ritual purposes in Ugbele Mgbidi area of Imo State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Saturday, July 3, 2021, just three months after the couple got married.
The suspect, who is at large was said to have killed his pregnant wife at home with the plan to take her corpse to the place where the ritual will be performed.
According to a source, “He wanted to take his wife out on a date, and then, probably take her to somewhere and kill her. He would have come back to cook up stories to cover his track. But unfortunately for him, the wife refused to go out with him.
“Just few days before, she had told a friend that for the past week her husband’s character has changed, that she doesn’t understand him anymore. So, we believe that’s why she refused to go out with him.
“However, after trying fruitlessly to get his wife to go out with him, he allegedly decided to kill her inside their apartment and take her corpse to the place where the ritual will be performed.
“He was said to have used a rod to hit her on her forehead. But while trying to transport the body, people became suspicious and confronted him. But he took to his heels and as I speak, he is no where to be found.
“They got married three months ago and the deceased was four months pregnant with his child.”
