“The man is just a victim of domestic violence.
“He had two wives. The first wife is from Izzi Local Government Area; while the second wife is from Uburu, in the Ohaozara Local Government Area of the state.
“It’s a family matter. But the second became so enraged over the matter and acted the way she did, by pushing her husband down from the two-story building. That’s the height of it. That’s the height of wickedness, ” the source said.
Another source who also craved anonymity said the suspect was heavily pregnant but was intermittently having quarrels with her late husband, adding that “the second wife was constantly nagging.”
