A tragic incident has claimed the life of a man identified as Ayomide Ayenuwa after he was allegedly stabbed to death by an angry wife, for trying to settle a fight between the woman and her husband.

The Nation reports that the angry woman, Ndifreke Femi stabbed the 28-year-old Ayomide with a kitchen knife on the neck at Ajah area of Lagos State.

Neighbours who witnessed the incident said the deceased had gone into the Femi’s apartment to pay his electricity bill. When he got there, he met the couple quarelling over a missing N20,000 which the woman claimed was stolen by her husband.

The deceased reportedly tried all his best to settle the quarrel between the couple, but to no avail. As he was leaving their apartment, the angry woman rushed to her kitchen, picked a kitchen knife and allegedly stabbed him on the neck.

Neighbors quickly rushed him to Peninsula Hospital where he was rejected but referred to the Akodo General Hospital. He later gave up on the way to the general hospital.

James Peter, one of the neighbors while narrating the incident said: ”When he got to their room, he saw the husband and wife quarrelling. Ndifreke was accusing her husband of stealing the N20,000 she hid under their mattress. Her husband denied the allegation but she was ready for a fight.

”It was at this point that Ayenuwa made efforts to settle the couple but they kept fighting. Ayenuwa appealed to Ndifreke to take the matter easy but she descended on him and started calling him names. She told him to mind his business.

”That was how Ayenuwa left the couple to their trouble. As he was walking away, Ndifreke ran into the kitchen and brought out a kitchen knife which she used to stab Ayenuwa on his neck from behind. Neighbors made efforts to save Ayenuwa’s life while others held Ndifreke down and almost lynched her.

”The neighbors with Ayenuwa’s family rushed him to the Peninsula Hospital at Ajah for treatment but he was referred to the Akodo General Hospital. Sadly, he died on his way to the hospital.”

After she was arrested by police, the mother-of-two claimed she acted in self-defense, adding that the deceased attacked her first by punching her on the head.

According to her, she wanted to use the knife to defend herself. Her husband had disappeared since the incident.
