The Edo State Police Command has arrested a 84-year-old man, Gabriel Ahuwa for allegedly killing his 75-year-old wife for refusing to sleep with him

The suspect was among the 198 suspects apprehended in the State for various crimes, such as kidnapping, murder and armed robbery, among others.

The Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, disclosed this during a news conference in Benin on Wednesday.

The octogenarian claimed his wife had been denying him sex for a long time.

PRO said, “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 to newsmen Gabriel said, “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,” he said.
