Samuel Adun, a heartbroken father, has offered N100,000 to anyone with information leading to the arrest of his son-in-law, simply known as Inuaghata.
Inuaghata was accused of murdering his pregnant wife, Osaretin.
On Friday, Adun informed journalists in Benin that his daughter had three children for the suspect.
He stated that he was informed that his daughter had been murdered by her husband, and that Inuaghata had gone into hiding after the tragedy occurred on May 24.
As reported by The Punch, Mr Adun said, “I hail from Orhionmwon Local Government Area. My daughter was killed by her husband. She was 23 years old. The incident happened at Egba on May 24.
“I do not understand the problem they had that led to the killing of my daughter. I was called that my daughter was killed. He used a knife to slit her throat; she was pregnant when she was killed. I want the boy arrested.
“I will give anybody N100,000 for information that can lead to the arrest of the suspect. The boy had not formally married my daughter. His parents are both dead. I have called his brother that he ran away after killing my daughter.”
When contacted by the press men, Chidi Nwabuzor, the Public Relations Officer for the Edo State Police, stated that the incident had not been brought to his attention.
