Drunk dies fighting wife

A 30-year-old man, identified as Ndubuisi Kalu, has
slumped and died after he was allegedly pushed down by his
wife in Aba, Abia State.

The couple, who lived at Pepple Street, Ogbor Hill,
reportedly quarreled frequently over his drinking habit.

As the deceased came back again drunk, his wife,
Immaculeta, was said to have pushed down. He fell and died
before he could receive medical attention.
A resident in the area said: “The man was formerly
employed, but was laid off by his employer and had since
remained unemployed.

“On that day, the man went out to drink as usual and came
back drunk. The wife, who was not happy with his drinking
habit, started rebuking him and that angered the man.

“While they were arguing, the wife pushed him and he
slumped and died.”
Spokesman of Abia State Police Command, DSP Ezekiel
Onyeke, who confirmed the incident, said Ogbor Hill Police
Division had commenced investigation into the incident.

He said police were also investigating their landlady and two
eyewitnesses, adding “late Kalu has epilepsy and there are
other things that we need to find out.
“We learned that the landlady gave them three hours to
vacate her house, which she effected on the day of the
incident.”
