THE Edo State Police Command has arrested an octogenarian identified as Gabriel Ahuwa, 84, for allegedly hacking his 75-year-old wife to death with a machete over her refusal to have sex with him.
Ahuwa was among the 198 suspects paraded on Wednesday, 16th August 2023, by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Chidi Nwabuzor.

Speaking with newsmen, the suspect claimed his wife had refused to have sex with him for a long time but had been sleeping with other men.
