In a viral video, Police and residents of the area where the incident occurred, were seen taking the deceased, who had matchet wounds on her head, from her apartment into a waiting Police vehicle.

The couple was said to be newly married and residents were at a loss as to what could have happened between them that led to the killing of Success.

The Spokesperson of the Edo State Police Command, Moses Yamu, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday, said that the husband was about to be lynched by irate mob when Policemen arrived the scene, pacified the mob and arrested the suspect.

Yamu said, “On 22/02/2025 at about 22:00hrs, information was received that one Kelvin Izekor of No 50 Upper Mission extension, Benin-City has killed his wife named Success Izekor aged 38yrs and was about to be lynched by an irate mob.

“Operatives of the Aduwawa Division swiftly responded to the report and met the lifeless body of the woman lying in the pool of her own blood with deep cuts on her head.

“It took serious efforts by the police operatives to pacify the mob, rescue, and take the suspect into custody for investigation. The victim was removed and rushed to the hospital, where she was confirmed dead.”

Yamu said the State’s Commissioner of Police, Betty Otimenyin, decried the recent cases of spouses being violent against each other while assuring the public of diligent investigation into the death of the woman, noting that whoever was found culpable would be dealt with according to the law.
