Rivers State Police Arrest Man for Alleged Domestic Homicide

In a shocking incident, the police in Rivers State, south-south Nigeria, have arrested a man, Michael Chidozie, for allegedly beating his wife to death. The tragic event was confirmed by Grace Iringe-Koko, the police spokesperson in the state, as reported by Punch newspaper on Thursday.

Chidozie, a father of three from Anambra State, is accused of assaulting his wife, Ufuoma Chidozie, who hailed from Delta State, at their residence in Mile 4, Port Harcourt. The assault resulted in fatal injuries, leading to Ufuoma's untimely death on Tuesday. The circumstances that led to the assault remain unclear.

According to an unnamed source quoted by Punch newspaper, Chidozie fled the house after calling his wife’s brother and requesting him to come over due to an emergency at home. Upon arrival, the brother found the house eerily quiet and open. He entered only to discover his sister's lifeless body, leading him to call out for Chidozie in shock.

Unable to locate the suspect, the brother rushed the victim to the hospital where she was confirmed dead. He subsequently reported the incident to the police.

Iringe-Koko, a police superintendent, stated that the suspect has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Rivers State for further investigation. Meanwhile, the victim's body has been deposited at the mortuary for an autopsy. This tragic incident underscores the urgent need for effective measures to combat domestic violence.
