An unidentified man in Nekede, Owerri West local government area of Imo state, allegedly attacked his wife with a knife following accusations of infidelity.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred on April 10 after the man was informed by a neighbor that his wife was having an extramarital affair in their home.
