Police in Plateau State yesterday confirmed the arrest of a 40-year-old man, Victor Dashit, who allegedly strangled his eight months pregnant wife, Irene. .
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Terna Tyopev, said that Dashit, an employee of the National Industrial Court (NIC), who resides at New Abuja area of Jos, killed the wife, a 33-year-old teacher, at their farm in Kangang, on June 2. .
Dashit, after allegedly killing the woman, invited his brother to help him to convey her to hospital after lying that she slumped a few minutes after she complained of feeling dizzy. .
A family source said that prior to the incident the couple had faced lots of problems leading to persistent domestic violence. The source said that the situation got worse in May 2016, when the deceased caught her husband in bed with their house help, Nora, in their home. .
Irene sent the girl out of the house, but the girl came back two months later and told the husband that she was pregnant. “Nora’s pregnancy aggravated the problems in their marriage; at a point, Irene fled to her parents’ house in Gindiri, but was persuaded to return to her husband’s house by their pastor.
The pastor persuaded her to return in November 2016, after intervening in the quarrel. She became pregnant immediately,” a source revealed. Irene had two daughters, while the unborn baby, a male, removed from her womb after she died, did not survive. .
Investigation by medics revealed marks on Irene’s neck, which suggested that she was strangled. “The doctors quickly reported the matter at the Anglo Jos Police Station where Dashit owned up to strangling his wife,” the source added. .
Tyopev, while describing the incident as “unfortunate”, blamed the development on alleged infidelity, saying that Dashit had equally confessed to impregnating his housemaid. “He confessed to holding the woman by the neck, but said he did not intend to kill her,” he said.

A female student of the African University of Science and Technology, Abuja, Sandra Musujusu, has developed an alternative treatment for breast cancer. The scientific breakthrough might lead to a lasting solution in the treatment of breast cancer prevalent among women world over.
This was made known on Tuesday in Abuja when the World Bank Education Director, Dr Jaime Saavedra Chanduvi, with his team visited the University as part of his assessment tour of the 10 African Centres of Excellence (ACE) centres.
The World Bank has committed about $10 billion for the ACE project in Nigeria, as part of efforts to encourage conduct of cutting-edge research and specialisation of the beneficiaries institutions in specific development problems faced in Nigeria and indeed the African continent.
Musujusu’s research, using macromolecular science is aimed at developing bio-degradable polymer material which could be used as alternative for the treatment of breast cancer in the near future.
She revealed that her research focuses on triple negative breast cancer which is the aggressive sub-type of breast cancer that is common with women from African ancestry.
Musujusu, a Sierra-Leonian national, is conducting the research under the sponsorship of the Pan African Materials Institute (PAMI). Musujusu said, “My research is actually centred on the development of bio-degradable polymers for treatment of breast cancer.
I will be focusing on triple negative breast cancer which is actually the aggressive sub-type of breast cancer that is common with women from African ancestry.”
I believe there is a bright future for Africa, and as a woman there is much more we can do if we are empowered. This award given to me by PAMI has empowered me to face my studies with more confidence and actually contribute to the frontier of knowledge and move Africa forward.”
