A father of five identified as Mohammed Manu, has reportedly been arrested by the Niger State Police Command after he killed his wife over sex. The 35-year-old father of five who killed his wife identified as Bulo over sex, reportedly warned her of the dangers of starving him of sex almost on a daily basis before the incident. The suspect who confessed to the murder charges, told Punch’s correspondent that he shot his wife with a pistol after she provoked him by constantly denying him sex.

“I had warned my wife to stop denying me sex, which is the fundamental of any marriage; each time I demanded sex from her, she treated me like a leper, which I considered unacceptable.“When I pressed further that day, she pushed me and I lost my temper and killed her. She was fond of giving excuses each time I wanted to make love to her.“How can my wife refuse my sex advances? It is an abomination where I come from; she did not have the right to do that.”The suspect who was arrested by a team of policemen attached to the New Bussa Police Division, has already been charged to court.
