These are worse moments for Mr. Samuel Mgbeodinma who killed his pregnant wife, Gloria on Saturday June 16th, 2018, barely four months after their marriage.
Sources squealed to us that the incident happened at their residence in Ikotun, Lagos on the Saturday night shortly after the Nigeria and Croatia World Cup match. We learnt the woman hit her head on the floor after her husband had pushed her.
Sources added that the husband thereafter bundled her remains into his car, drove to his parents residence at Egbeda, parked and left without saying anything.
Those in the know disclosed to us that the late Gloria was six weeks pregnant and that she just graduated last year from the Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Niger State.
Family source revealed that; “She said she called her to ask for her house address and my cousin sent her a message that she should not bother coming. That she was going to come to her. This was last week Wednesday and then on Saturday the incident happened.”
“What happened remained a mystery. But the police said the violent marks on the late Gloria’s face and body showed that she was assaulted.”
“Her husband denied he did not beat her. He said after watching the Nigeria-Croatia match that Saturday, he came back and told her he wanted to go and have a haircut. He said by the time he got back, he saw her on the floor. That she might have fallen.”
“If that is true, why then did he, instead of taking her to the hospital, put her inside the car and took the car to his parent’s house at Egbeda? He left her inside the car. She was in the car till about 12pm on Sunday, when our family members went there and took her to the mortuary.”
“Our people called the police and the police saw the marks on her body. For now, the man has not been arrested. Police have called for her father to come and make statement. He was supposed to come on Monday from Kwara but could not because his blood pressure had risen. So, they are expecting him to come and file official complaint before the man would be arrested. It is a sad thing. She did not deserve to die like that.”
