The man was said to have entered into his room after his wife quarrelled with him to drink a locally made insecticide called ‘Snipper’ at 3.30 pm and informed his neighbours and wife what he did...

A neighbour, Francis Obi, said while telling his wife, the man accused her of making life miserable for him and said he was happy living her for ever.

The neighbour said the deceased, who was recently retrenched at Impresit Construction Company, never knew peace from his wife and always kept quiet whenever she nagged him.

“The woman is so troublesome and the situation got worse for the man after he lost his job as a mason,” the Obi said.

He said the man built the house he lived in but the woman was not satisfied with his hard work and embarrassed as well as abused him in public daily.

The neighbour said people around the area rushed to get policemen after the incident, who arrested the woman, while the corpse was taken to the University of Abuja Hospital’s Morgue.

At the Kuje Police Station, a police officer confirmed the incident and said the woman is in their custody, while the police are investigating the matter.
