Delta State police command has nabbed a hunter identified as Omenogor (Surname withheld) in Ishiagu, Ndokwa West local government area of the state, for allegedly killing his wife and two children over allegation of witchcraft.
It was gathered that the man became frustrated over his inability to make love to his wife, a situation he blamed on his wife’s alleged witchcraft.
The public relations officer, Delta State police command, ASP Lucky Uyebeme, confirmed that the hunter is at present, helping the police at the state CID for their investigation.
He further disclosed that some of his family members who allegedly aided him have also been arrested.
According to the PPRO, the incident happened on Thursday evening when a quarrel between Omenogor and his wife degenerated into a free-for-all fight, leading to the death of his wife and two children.
Further inquiry showed that the couple had been locked in accusation and counter accusation of witchcraft in the last three years, which family sources said culminated into the alleged inability of the hunter to perform his segxwal and civil responsibilities in recent times.
