The entire Umuode community in Osisioma Ngwa local government area of Abia state was on Wednesday thrown into confusion when a middle aged man, Hanson Jacob lost his life four days after his lover’s husband, Mr. Frank Aro attacked him with an iron rod.

Late Hanson with his lover before his death

Our correspondent learnt that Mr. Aro, who hails from Ishiagu in Ebonyi State, has been suspecting his wife, Chika and the deceased of having extra-marital affair which became a common gossip in the entire community.

Aro, was said to have confronted and warned his wife severally over the alleged unholy relationship, but the latter denied having any affair with the late Hason.

A resident of the area who doesn’t want his name in print, told our correspondent that “It is like Frank has been monitoring his wife and her lover”.

“It was also possible that somebody alerted him that day, and he suddenly returned home unannounced and caught his wife and her lover in the room making love.

“The man attacked Hanson with an iron rod and inflicted several injuries on him. Hanson was heavily hit that he couldn’t walk, but was later taken to the hospital while the husband and the wife handed themselves over to Police at Osisioma Ngwa Division after the incident.”
