A Nigerian woman based in the United Kingdom, Chinyere Magella Ogudoro and her younger brother have been allegedly burnt alive by her husband, Benjamin Ogudoro,
A Facebook user, Chinenye Azubuike, took to Facebook to share the sad news. She said the incident happened on Thursday, March 31st at the lady’s residence in Lagos.
Chinyere, a master’s degree holder from a UK university and a mother of four children was visiting Nigeria when she met her death.
The husband simply said it was a fire incident and he was able to escape. But Chinenye said Chinyere’s brother was still able to speak when people got to him and he said it was the husband who set the house on fire.
See Chinenye Azubuike’s post below:
“This is my sister-in-law who relocated to Scotland less than 4 years ago. She returned to Lagos yesterday by 8 am. Her younger brother picked her up from the airport and drove her to the house.
“Her husband, Benjamin, from Ngor Okpalla LGA in Imo State, returned and incinerated the mother-of-four and the brother around 3 am. The suspect told his sister to inform the family that the house caught fire and he escaped. Before Chinyere’s brother passed on, he explained all that transpired.
“Chinyere and her brother have been taken to the morgue while the suspect has gone into hiding. Prior to this incident, he had a quarrel with the deceased over a property she bought. He had wanted to sell the house but to his surprise, his name wasn’t on the documents. This angered him and he sent her death threats.
“He once fought with Chinyere with a machete which led them to separate for some years before they reconciled only for him to carry out his death threats. Please share this story cause it’s painful what has happened to her. Chinyere left behind her kids in Scotland.. it’s painful we have to bury the Ada and Opara of our family.”
