A 30-year-old man, identified as Ndubuisi Kalu, has slumped and died during a fight with his wife at Pepple Street, Ogbor Hill, in Abia State.
The woman identified as Immaculeta Kalu who frowned at her husband’s drinking habit allegedly pushed him down on the fateful day during one of their usual fights.
Narrating the incident, a resident in the area whose identity was undisclosed said: “The man was formerly employed, but was laid off by his employer and had since remained unemployed.
“On that day, the man went out to drink as usual and came back drunk. The wife, who was not happy with his drinking habit, started rebuking him and that angered the man.
“While they were arguing, the wife pushed him and he slumped and died.”
