The alleged killer, identified as Inuaghata, is wanted for killing his wife, Osaretin.

Mr. Adun, who spoke to journalists in Benin City, said his daughter has three children for the fleeing husband.

Adun said he was called that his daughter had been killed by her husband.

According to him, the son in-law fled and has been hiding since May 24 when he committed the offence.

His words, “I hail from Orhionmwon local government. My daughter was killed by her husband. She was 23 years old. The incident happened at Egba on the 24th of last month. I do not understand the problem they have. I was called that my daughter has been killed. He used knife to slit her throat. My daughter was pregnant when she was killed. I want the boy arrested.

“I will give anybody that give information leading to his arrest the sum of N100,000. The boy had not formally married my daughter. His parents are both dead. I have called his brother. He ran away after killing my daughter. His name is Inuaghata.”

Edo state Police Command Public Relation Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor when contacted said the matter had not been brought to his attention of the command.
