What is happening to couples in Imo state? Could it be that the recent Supreme Court judgement which removed Emeka Ihedioha and installed Hope Uzodinma as governor is affecting marriages too?
Reports coming out of the state in the last week have been gory and disheartening.
Just last week WuzupNigeria reported two different cases of failed attempts by two married women to send their husbands on a journey of no return.
One claimed she saw a text message on her husband’s phone from a supposed side chic and descended on the man at midnight, he stabbed him, but the man was able to escape.
A few days later, another woman went into the kitchen, boiled oil and returned to the room to bath her husband with the hot oil. Again, the woman’s action was prompted by suspicion that the man had been cheating on her, the man escaped and is believed to be presently receiving treatment at the hospital.
Just when we thought that would put a stop to the violence on men by their wives, another gory story emerged again from Imo State, making it seem women in the state have had a secret meeting where they all agreed to unleash mayhem on their spouses.
A Twitter user, @Guchijones, took to the microblogging site to share some photos of a medical doctor in a critical condition at the Federal Medical Center, Owerri, after being assaulted by his wife.
Dr Cherechi Okonkwo’s upper teeth, tip of his tongue and a part of his lower gum were cut off by his wife who is a nurse.
It was gathered that the incident happened at the home of the couple at World bank area of the state capital.
The victim, a gynecologist with FMC, Owerri, was rushed to hospital where doctors battled to save his life.
Okonkwo was said to have been attacked by his wife after an argument. After attacking him, the wife was said to have phoned his mom to come and carry the corpse of her son.
He was said to be in a coma and later regained consciousness.
A staff of FMC, Owerri, who does not want his name in print said:
“An FMC Owerri doctor was assaulted by his wife last night after a quarrel.

The police spokesperson in the state, Orlando Ikeokwu, told newsmen that the matter had not been reported to the police.
