Vanguard reports:
A 32-year-old man, Tuesday in Yenagoa,
committed suicide after drinking an insecticide, known as Sniper, after he
learned that his wife was having an extra-marital affair at Ikolo in Yenagoa
Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
The deceased, identified as Amatari Christmas,
was married to Tombara, an indigene of Ayama in the same local government area.
They have two children.
Vanguard gathered that the incident has
provoked anger among indigenes of the community, with some kinsmen of the
deceased threatening to invoke their ancestors to deal with the unfaithful
woman and her lover, identified as a suspected cultist and an indigene of
Ayama.
A kinsman of the deceased, who gave his name
as Francis, said their late brother, on getting wind of claims of infidelity
against his wife, decided to monitor her activities in the community.
Francis said: “On Monday, the husband went to
fetch vegetable in large quantities for his wife to sell. After harvesting the
vegetable, the husband told the wife to return home after market to prepare
dinner for the family.
“However, the dead husband became worried and
suspicious at about 7p.m. when the wife did not return as instructed and went
in search of her at his in-law’s house.
“At the mother in-law’s house, he was told she
had gone to the father’s place at Ayama. At Ayama, a concerned friend took him
to the home of his wife’s lover, where he caught them in bed.”
According to him, the wife’s lover, a
suspected cultist in the area, had threatened to deal with the aggrieved
husband who for fear of his life, hid himself in an uncompleted building before
going home to drink the deadly substance after locking out his two children.
When contacted on the development, the spokesman
of the state Police Command, Asinim Butswatt, said he was yet to be briefed on
the incident.
