According to a source close to the family, the crisis reportedly began on Monday after the couple engaged in a heated argument over their sick child and the officer’s alleged inability to provide money for medical treatment.

Some family members were reported to have waded into the matter and temporarily restored peace.
The source hinted that when all thought the matter was over, however, tensions rose again Monday morning in an uncontrollable manner.
The renewed quarrel was said to have degenerated into a physical fight and in the process, the deceased’s phone was reportedly damaged, prompting him to seize and destroy his wife’s phone in retaliation.
The quarrel reportedly turned fatal when the woman allegedly picked a pair of scissors and stabbed the husband.
He reportedly collapsed instantly and was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, where he was confirmed dead by doctors.
