A Bike rider has been arrested for locking up his wife, and torturing her for nearly a year and attempting to use her for money ritual.
The yet-to-be-identified bike rider was been arrested by the Delta State police command over alleged attempt to kill his wife, identified simply as Onyinyechi, for ritual purposes.
It was gathered that the suspect was arrested on Monday, November 28, at his residence in Ozoro area of the state.
He was arrested alongside a female herbalist after it was discovered that he locked his wife up for over eight months and subjected her to all sort of torture.
The couple, it was learnt, got married in Enugu State in March, 2022 shortly after they met.
According to a source, “For the past eight months the man locked his wife inside their one room apartment. That was where she had her bath, toilet, eat and all. He collected her phone so that she won’t call anyone. He also used handkerchief to cover her mouth to prevent her from shouting or calling for help.
Nobody had an idea that someone was even in that house because there’s no window there. It’s really shocking how no member of the lady’s family cared to look for her in the over eight months that she was locked up.
I think he works with one female herbalist too because I heard they arrested both of them.”
