An 84-year-old man, Gabriel Ahuwa, has been arrested for allegedly killing his 75-year-old wife for denying him sex.
The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, who announced the suspect’s arrest at a press conference in Benin, the state capital, on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, said the octogenarian was among the 198 suspects apprehended in the state for various crimes, such as armed robbery, kidnapping, and murder, among others.
“The suspect is not remorseful. After killing his wife, he still claimed that his action was the only solution to her starving him of sex,” Nwabuzor said.

Speaking to newsmen, Ahuwa said his wife had been denying him sex for a long time.
He said: “My wife does not listen to me. Anytime I asked her to come and sleep with me, she will decline. We have given birth to seven children.
“I reported my wife to my family and hers too, but she failed to listen to them and continued with her old ways.
“Meanwhile, I heard that she was sleeping with some pastors.”
The 84-year-old man, however, said that he regretted his action.
