A woman in Delta State is dead after she consumed an Egusi (melon) soup she had prepared for her husband.
The woman, Egwoli, had reportedly put some
substances she obtained from a native doctor into the soup, as she had
been told the substances would make her husband find her more desirable.
However, she didn’t know that the “charm” was actually poisonous.
According to reports, Egwoli visited the native doctor because she
believed her husband was cheating on her, as they hadn’t slept together
since they got married two years ago.
When she returned from the native doctor, she mixed the charm into the soup she intended to serve to her husband.
However, her husband was not home at the time. Somewhere along the
line, she is said to have mistakenly mixed the charm into her own soup
not knowing it was poisonous. She subsequently ate it, went to bed and
died.
Speaking on his wife’s death, the husband says, “my wife had
threatened to make me impotent when I stopped making love to her for
obvious reasons and I found some fetish items in her room, including the
egusi soup she ate before her death.”
The case is currently under police investigation.
