The state police command confirmed the incident in a statement the police public relations officer, Ebere Amaraizu, issued on Friday.

“Further information revealed that the deceased had been having a running battle with the husband and the second wife before the unfortunate incident,” Amaraizu said.

The police spokesman said that Simon and his second wife have been arrested and they are helping the operatives in their investigation in relation to the unfortunate incident, just as the dead body of the deceased had been deposited in Atta Memorial Hospital morgue, Aku, in the Igboetiti Local Government Area of the state for autopsy.
