Ernest Anayo Mba, a 45 years old piggery owner at Aradagun area of Badagry, Lagos, has allegedly beaten his 41-year-old wife to death for reasons known to him only.
LindaIkeji reports that a source close to the family narrated the hardship and pains Ngozi Mba, the deceased, suffered before her untimely death.
The source narrates the deceased has never known what true happiness is ever since she married— she disclosed that she has been subjected to beatings and maltreatment by her husband.
The couple met in 2009 and married a year after and that is where all the problems started. Having borne him four girls and a boy, with one of the girls dying two years ago at the back of the father’s refusal to pay her medical bills just because she is a girl and he wanted a boy, madam Ngozi was advised not to get pregnant as the next could end her life.

She got pregnant however and never told any of her relatives as demanded by her husband, albeit that is not what ended her 7 months pregnancy and her life but a severe flogging by her husband on 10th of October.
The source added that the corpse was even neglected by the husband and had to be carried to her hometown by a brother of his whilst he went back to his piggery.
As it stands, he in detention at the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti, Lagos state.
