The life of a legal practitioner, Mr. Henry
Gagariga, was last week Thursday cut short by
his wife Victoria who tragically stabbed him to
death in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. Victoria, 28,
sent the 33-year-old Gagariga to his untimely
grave at their residence along Ebisam Road in
Akenfa.
She allegedly stabbed him on the neck with a
kitchen knife following a quarrel caused by “a
minor domestic disagreement.”
Sources said the duo cohabited for some years
before legalizing their union in Yenagoa last
June.
It was gathered that their union had yet to
produce children. Gagariga was said to have lost
a lot of
blood and later died at a hospital where he was
rushed to for treatment. His body had been
deposited at an undisclosed mortuary in the
state.
Victoria was identified as a daughter of a retired
director in the state Ministry of Information from
Brass local government area of the state. She is
said to be an employee of the Bayelsa State
Council for Arts and Culture. Her deceased
husband was an indigene of Sagbama local
government area of the state.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer,
Asinim Butswat, confirmed the incident.
