A horrific family tragedy has unfolded in Delta State as a commercial tricycle operator was allegedly beaten to death by his own daughter and wife after questioning her second pregnancy out of wedlock.
The incident occurred along Urhobo Road in Sapele Local Government Area when the deceased confronted his daughter, Onyinye, about her second pregnancy with a man he hadn't met. Witnesses report the confrontation turned violent when Onyinye allegedly attacked her father, with her mother joining in and locking the door to prevent intervention.
Neighbors described a chilling scene where the women continued their assault until the man collapsed, hitting his head fatally on the ground. By the time residents forced entry, the father was already dead.
Local sources confirm police have arrested both women, though Delta State Police spokesperson SP Bright Edafe claims the incident hasn't been officially reported. The case has sent shockwaves through the community, raising questions about domestic violence and family conflicts in Nigeria.
This tragic event follows similar cases of domestic violence across Nigeria, highlighting the urgent need for better conflict resolution mechanisms and mental health support in families. Community leaders are calling for thorough investigation and justice for the deceased.
