The 29-year-old victim identified as Bonaventure Mkpume, the only son of his parents, died following the incident which occurred in the early hours on Monday.
According to his wife, Mrs Chinenye Mkpume, they were at home when one of their family friends, called on the phone for help that her husband was beating her.
Mrs. Mkpume said she wanted to go alone but the husband insisted on going with her not knowing it would be his last day on earth.
It was gathered that while they were still making peace between the couple, about five boys whose faces were familiar – appeared and immediately pounced on the deceased who was standing just in front of the gate.
Mrs. Mkpume further explained that while they butchered her husband with axe and machete, the couple that invited them to make peace – ran inside and locked the gate leaving her and her husband to the mercy of the boys.
