A 22-year-old pregnant woman, Veronica Boniface has been arrested by men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Nasarawa State for allegedly stabbing her husband to death following a purported phone conversation with a ‘strange woman’.

According to him, the suspect stabbed the late husband with a kitchen knife following an argument about a phone call from a purported strange woman.

 

The suspect, a mother of one who is currently pregnant, revealed her intention was to scare her late husband and collect the phone but mistakenly ended up killing him.
