Drunk dies fighting wife

By Ugochukwu Alaribe
Aba—A 30-year-old man, identified as Ndubuisi Kalu, has
slumped and died after he was allegedly pushed down by his
wife in Aba, Abia State.
The couple, who lived at Pepple Street, Ogbor Hill, reportedly
quarreled frequently over his drinking habit.
As the deceased came back again drunk, his wife, Immaculeta,
was said to have pushed down. He fell and died before he could
receive medical attention.
A resident in the area said: “The man was formerly employed,
but was laid off by his employer and had since remained
unemployed.
“On that day, the man went out to drink as usual and came back
drunk. The wife, who was not happy with his drinking habit,
started rebuking him and that angered the man.
“While they were arguing, the wife pushed him and he slumped
and died.”
Spokesman of Abia State Police Command, DSP Ezekiel Onyeke,
who confirmed the incident, said Ogbor Hill Police Division had
commenced investigation into the incident.
He said police were also investigating their landlady and two
eyewitnesses, adding “late Kalu has epilepsy and there are other
things that we need to find out.
“We learned that the landlady gave them three hours to vacate
her house, which she effected on the day of the incident.”
