A man, simply identified as Inuaghata, has fled after allegedly killing his pregnant wife, Osaretin.

According to available information, the man killed the 23-year-old, with whom he already has three kids, on May 24.

Inuaghata’s father-in-law, Samuel Adun, who made this development known to newsmen on Friday in Benin, the Edo State capital, offered a N100,000 bounty to anyone with information on the fleeing man.

Adun said he was also informed that his daughter was allegedly killed by her husband on May 24, 2023, adding that Inuaghata had gone into hiding since then.

He said: “I hail from Orhionmwon Local Government Area.

“I want the boy arrested.

“I will give anybody N100,000 for information that can lead to the arrest of the suspect.
