It sounds bizarre for a man to shoot a wife, who bore him six children, for a lame reason of not preparing his preferred delicacy.sounds all curious. Perhaps there is more to it, than the shallow story a former member of the Enugu Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC), Hon. Mathias Nweze, gave for shooting his wife.

Nweze, in his report to the police, claimed that while he was sleeping in his house at about 11 pm last Saturday, his generator went off twice arousing the suspicion that robbers might have invaded his compound.
He told the police that consequently, he brought his pump action gun and fired several times at the direction of the generator.
Nweze, who is said to be living with his two wives as at the time of the incident, said while trying to shoot whoever was out there in the compound, one of the bullets hit his wife, leaving her critically injured.
Nwaze is said to have married five wives at different times in the past. He had always divorced them, to remarry others. He had just the remaining two wives left with him, at the time of the shooting.
It was, however, uncertain if he is licensed to bear arms or not. And if he is licensed to bear arms, what category of guns, he could own.
Some residents of the town have continued to raise posers over the incident, wondering how good a marksman he is to have fired into a compound without seeing his target. They also wondered if the generator went off twice that night, who restarted it on the two occasions that it went off? Was the generator itself also hit by the roving bullets?
Many neighbours of the Nwezes believed the suspect must have made up the story to the police to lessen the weight of his crime.
Two neighbours who spoke to THISDAY on grounds of anonymity, narrated how the suspect had given money to the late wife to cook some delicacy for him but he was angered when he found out that rather than cook what he wanted, he was served something else which they identified as ‘corn mill’.
He was said to have been deeply angered by the development and in the ensuing altercation between the couple, Mathias, whom they said could no longer contain his anger, rushed into his room, picked his gun, stormed out, aimed the gun at the wife, and pulled the trigger. The woman was said to have fallen down immediately, lying in the pool of her blood and writhing in pains.
She was later rushed to the New Testament Hospital, Ogurute Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area where she was confirmed dead by the doctor.
The suspect has been detained by the police and investigation has commenced.
