Woman Kills Pregnant Co-tenant in Ebonyi over Domestic Dispute
A woman is said to have murdered her co-tenant, a pregnant woman in a village located in Afikpo North Local Government Ebonyi State, following an altercation.
Jacinta Ewa Omiko, the accused is said to have hit Ginika Gabriel on the head with a kitchen stool because the victim’s child defecated on the ground. She slumped and died within minutes. All efforts made by neighbors to revive her were futile. Her body was dropped off at God’s Seed Funeral Mortuary, awaiting autopsy.
The accused, Jacinta, speaking to Sunday Sun, had this to say in her defense.
“What happened was that I asked my neighbor, Gabriel, to clear the faeces of her son on the floor of the passage, to avoid people stepping on it. She ignored me and we began exchanging words. Then a fight ensued and I pushed her down.”
A neighbor who identified himself as Gabriel Uro, said that he was at his farm, when another neighbor told him that a fight had ensued between Jacinta and Ginika.
“I was harvesting my yam in the farm when I heard that Omiko and Gabriel fought in the compound. I also heard that Gabriel died on the spot. So, I went immediately to report the case at the Afikpo North Police Station and Omiko was arrested.”
The family of the deceased reached out to the Assistant police commissioner, Tina Ogbodo, requesting for justice to be done.
“We want justice to be done. Our late sister Ginika Gabriel was a quiet woman. We cannot understand why someone should kill her just like that because her child defecated on the ground. We want justice to be done. We believe God will fight for us and God will take care of the children she left behind,” a member of the family cried out
Ogbodo, who assured the family that the case was under investigation, also disclosed to newsmen that the kitchen stool used to kill the victim had been recovered and that the case had also been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
