She reportedly stabbed Igbah Kpile, her husband, in several parts of his body before he collapsed.
Neighbours who were attracted by Kpile’s scream rushed into the house and met him in a pool of blood while his wife, unremorseful and angry, alleged that her husband was disturbing her for sex.
Though rushed to a nearby clinic in Makurdi, Kpile died on the way and was confirmed dead on arrival by the doctor on duty.
In the meantime, Torkwase, the suspect, has been on the run and the police have commenced an investigation into the murder.
The spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, SP Catheren Anene, could not be reached to confirm the incident despite several calls to her phone.
