“I have been having quarrels with my husband for a long time. We tried to settle the matter without success. One day, my husband came back from the office and told me that he was not interested in the marriage anymore."
“I pleaded with him but he refused. I prepared food for him but he refused to eat the food. With annoyance he went to sleep. At about midnight when my husband was asleep I went to the kitchen and I took the axe and cut him on the neck several times, he struggled until he died. It was the devil that used me. I didn’t know what prompted me to kill him but maybe because he said he was not interested in the marriage again."
“The family of my husband should forgive me. I am calling on the elders in the community in Auchi to forgive me because it was ignorance and the devil that used me as I now realize that I didn’t exercise enough patience with my husband.”
Zenab Agbontine did the abominable when she allegedly murdered her husband, Egberise Agbontine, in Ubiane Aviele village near Auchi, Edo State with an axe for refusing to eat the food she prepared for him after he returned from work.
Despite his several years in the police force and having seen different murder cases, Edo State Police Commissioner, Mr Foluso Adebanjo, said he could hardly conceal his shock as he related the incident
Zenab murdered Egberise while he was sleeping. The Axe Queen had allegedly been quarrelling with him for more than a week before the incident happened. On the fateful day, when the husband returned from office, she prepared food for him. Without any foreboding of the murderous thoughts whirling around in the head of his wife, Egebrise took his bath. But when the wife later told him that his food was ready, Egberise was said to have refused to eat the food she prepared.
