Martha Ifeoma Ifewulu’s throat cut with a knife in Ejigbo.
The lifeless body of a woman identified as Martha Ifeoma Ifewulu was discovered at her house in Oke Afa area of Lagos this past Monday, the 1st of December 2014.
The 35-year-old mother of four and the wife of 52-year-old Chief Lawrence Ugochukwu Ifewulu was murdered by an unknown person few hours before her children arrived from school.
The children came home only to find their mother in a pool of her own blood, which flowed freely down the staircase. “Who killed our mummy?” is a question now reverberating through their minds.
The late Ifeoma’s husband is as distraught as his children, though he is making a manly effort to keep his pain and emotion under control for the sake of the children. But then how can a husband recall the beautiful face of a wife that smiled at him as he left home in the morning, only to be summoned back in the afternoon by the urgent plea of a sobbing neighbour, and upon getting home to be confronted by the gut-wrenching sight of the silky-soft skin of her throat hideously slashed with a knife as one would do to a goat, and not break down in tears?
