However, when he got to their apartment, he saw they were quarrelling. The wife accused her husband of stealing the N20,000 she hid under their mattress.
"The husband denied it. It was at this point that Ayenuwa made efforts to settle the quarrelling couple, but the couple kept fighting. Ayenuwa begged the wife to take the matter easy. She, however, turned on Ayenuwa, calling him names.
“Despite all entreaties, she refused to listen. She started abusing Ayenuwa. She told him to mind his business. As Ayenuwa was walking away, the woman ran into the kitchen and returned with a kitchen knife. She stabbed him in the neck.
Ayenuwa’s family members, assisted by neighbours, rushed him to Peninsula Hospital, Ajah, but he was referred to the General Hospital, Akodo. He died on his way to the hospital.”
