An-84-year-old man, Gabriel Uhuwa, has been arrested by men of Edo State Police Command for allegedly killing his wife for refusing to have sex with him.

The command confirmed the arrest on Wednesday, while parading 198 suspects arrested for offences ranging from armed robbery, kidnapping and unlawful possession of firearms to murder and cultism among others.

The command Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, said Uhuwa was arrested for allegedly killing his 75-year-old wife for refusing to have sex with him.

Nwabuzor said Uhuwa has been having issues with his wife over her alleged refusal to have sex with him whenever he asked.

He said the octagenarian was not remorseful and he felt what he has done was the best solution to his problem.

Speaking with journalists, Uhuwa said, “My wife was not listening to me. Any time I asked her to come and sleep with me, she always declined. We have seven children together, five boys and two girls.” The suspect said he had reported the matter to his children and that one of her daughters came to talk to his wife but she didn’t listen.

“I reported the matter to my family and her family members but she failed to listen to them and continued her old ways and I was hearing information that pastors were sleeping with her.

The suspect is not remorseful. After killing his wife, he still claimed that his action was the only solution to her starving him of sex.

Speaking yo newsmen, the suspect said his wife had been denying him sex for a long time.

“My wife does not listen to me. Anytime I asked her to come and sleep with me, she will decline. We have given birth to seven children.

“I reported my wife to my family and hers too, but she failed to listen to them and continued with her old ways.

”Meanwhile, I heard that she has been sleeping with some pastors,” the suspect said.

He, however, said that he regretted his action.
