See How This Man Shot His Wife On Her Buttocks

For anyone that heard of a man shooting his wife in the course of a quarrel, the reaction would be that such an act should be punished. But this is a case of strange love as the woman is pregnant for her husband.

Funny, but the woman still profess love for her husband and even plead for him at the police station, despite sustaining injuries from the shot fired at her buttocks by the husband.



Speaking on the quarrel which almost cost his wife her life, Mr. Waheed said:

“The incident happened on December 15, 2012. I am a security guard. I came from work that day. The gun I took to work did not fire when I pulled the trigger, so when I got home , I tried to remove the already loaded pellets and the gunpowder from it.

“My wife went to buy oranges which she was selling and came back between 7.30a.m. and 8a.m. that day. I was inside sleeping. She came to ask for money for breakfast. I reminded her that there was elubo and little stew at home. I told her to wait until I had taken some rest but she went on making noise outside. I woke up and took the gun to remove the pellets so that I could discharge the gunpowder.

“I held the gun and was working on the gun. She came back from the toilet and still continued to rant. There was an iron rod that I used to solidify the gunpowder inside the gun. I was using it when she came and started struggling with me. In the process, the gun fell. I wanted to pick the gun but my hand mistakenly pulled the trigger and the gun went off. I did not even know that she was hit by pellets because she ran away.

“Shortly after, my father who lives within our community, sent people to call me. He was the one who told me that I had shot my wife and that she had blood stains on her buttocks. Later, a man in our community asked her to report my action at the police station. The police took her to a hospital at Apete but they said they could not take care of her.

“Later, we took her to a traditional doctor where the pellets were extracted locally. She recovered quickly after that and had continued with her business...

“I was arrested recently when a man I apprehended for moving late in the night reported at Apete station that I assaulted him. That was how the police said that I was a wanted man in the case of an attempted murder. I told them, however, that I was not on the run, and I had been living with my wife after the incident. It is not rational that I would just pick a gun and shoot my wife.”

Crime Reports gathered that Kafayat, who could not stand her husband’s arrest and detention, boldly walked into the office of a senior officer to plead for the release of her husband, saying that she could not bear to see him suffer in detention or taken to prison. The noticeably-pregnant woman told the police that she was not ready to pursue the case.


Olufamous.com gathered from a reliable source that the Police authority are saying the crime her husband committed was not just against her only but against the state. He may soon be charged to court.
