Man who burnt wife to d3ath begs his children for forgiveness as Anambra State Govt insists justice must take full course
The man who burnt his wife to death over suspicion of infidelity in Anambra State has apologized to his five sons for the dastardly act.
Obiozor Sunday Nwaka, a welder, accused his Blessing Chioma Nwaka of infidelity which led to a heated disagreement during which he poured petrol on her and set her ablaze.
The incident happened on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, in Abagana, Njikoka Local Government Area of the state.
The deceased who was said to be the breadwinner of her family, was seen in a viral gory clip on social media, scampering for safety while carrying a third-degree burn around her torso and other body areas.
The victim died on Wednesday morning in a nearby hospital where she was rushed to for treatment.
The suspect told the State Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Mrs Ify Obinabo that it was never his intention to kill his wife but did it out of anger because he had no prior knowledge of his wife’s whereabouts the previous day.
Visibly in tears, Mr Nwaka, who is currently in police custody, urged his children to forgive him.
Media aide to the commissioner, Chidinma Ikeanyionwu, in a statement on Thursday, January 23, stated that contrary to the deceased’s family and church members’ testimonies that the victim never complained of domestic violence, the suspect has a history of extreme violence.
“One of her friends, who wants to remain anonymous, revealed that the deceased confided in her that the man has a history of extreme violence and that this is not the first time he attempted her life,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Government has assured that justice must take its full course on the matter.
Speaking through Mrs. Obinabo, the state government condemned the act and assured that the administration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo would ensure that the suspect faces the full wrath of the law.
