Edo: Father-in-law places N100,000 bounty on man who murdered pregnant wife

Samuel Adun, a bereaved father of a pregnant wife killed by his husband identified as Inuaghata, has offered to pay N100,000 to anyone with a reliable information that can lead to the arrest of his son-in-law.

It was gathered that Inuaghata allegedly killed his pregnant wife, simply identified as Osaretin.

Adun, while speaking to newsmen in Benin on Friday, said that his daughter had three children for the suspect.

He noted that he was called that his daughter was killed by her husband, adding that Inuaghata had gone into hiding since May 24 when the incident happened.

He said, “I hail from Orhionmwon Local Government Area. My daughter was killed by her husband. She was 23 years old. The incident happened at Egba on May 24.

“I do not understand the problem they had that led to the killing of my daughter. I was called that my daughter was killed. He used a knife to slit her throat; she was pregnant when she was killed. I want the boy arrested.

“I will give anybody N100,000 for information that can lead to the arrest of the suspect. The boy had not formally married my daughter. His parents are both dead. I have called his brother that he ran away after killing my daughter.”

However, the Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, said he is yet to be briefed about the matter.
