Deann Igho married
Sylvester barely a year ago and hoped to have a good marriage. Their
affairs had started when she was a student at the University of Port
Harcourt. Their love affair blossomed, and they agreed to get married.
However, Deann’s parents, siblings and relatives objected to her
marrying Sylvester. Along the line, she got pregnant for Sylvester and
her family didn’t have any choice but to grant her wish. She moved in to
live with Sylvester. Last year, she gave birth to a baby boy. Deann is
Sylvester’s third wife.
First, the man married about five years ago, and the marriage
crashed after producing a child. He married again, but his second wife
did not give him a child before they parted ways. He then married Deann.
The fight
Sylvester returned home after being away for two weeks. A quarrel
had ensued between him and the wife in the evening. To Deann, the matter
was settled, but her husband did not want to let go. At night,
Sylvester woke his wife from sleep and demanded that they talked. His
wife told him that whatever discussion there was had to wait till the
morning, to avoid waking the baby, who had cough and catarrh. In a fit
of anger, Sylvester stabbed her twice in the eye, locked the door and
escaped.
Since their home on Ada George Road, a developing part of Port
Harcourt, is isolated, neighbours could not hear Deann’s cries. Writhing
in pains and on the verge of bleeding to death, she managed to call her
siblings in Lagos, on phone. She also called her parents and
Sylvester’s parents, who also live in Lagos. She also, in pains,
captured her bleeding face with her Blackberry phone camera and sent
them to those she called.
Her family contacted their friends in Port Harcourt, Mr & Mrs.
Castro, who broke the door and took her out. She was then taken to the
University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) for medical
attention.
Nero Igho, Deann’s brother, who was in Lagos when he got the
distress call, says he called Sylvester several times, but the latter
refused to pick his call.
After initial treatment, Nero took his sister to police area
command, where the matter was reported. She was, thereafter, transferred
to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, where a team of
three doctors confirmed that the eye was dead, after surgery. On his
experience, Deann said: “Sylvester used a knife to remove one of my eyes
and locked the door against me so that I will bleed to death.”
How Sylvester was arrested
After the attack, Sylvester moved over to Lagos and was lodging in a
hotel. While in Lagos, he told those who called him on phone that he
was in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. The bubble burst when someone spotted him
and told Deann’s family. Nero traced him to the hotel and fooled him
into believing that there was no problem, as they saw the matter as one
of trying times. He followed them home, where the police picked him up.
The police said he would be transferred to Port Harcourt, where the
crime was committed.
Sylvester’s plot to flee Nigeria
It was learnt that Sylvester actually planned to flee Nigeria,
which was why he came to Lagos. He had made arrangements for an
International passport, which he was waiting for before he was nabbed.
While cooling off his heels at the Lagos state Police Command cell,
Sylvester blamed Satan for his action. He denied stabbing his wife.
According to him, the ceiling fan cut his wife’s eye.

Nigerians are fast losing their goddamn minds! They, nowadays, commit horrendous crimes that they were never before known to indulge in, especially against their spouses. I really don't give a flying hoot what the woman did; he shouldn't have gone over board to committing one of the most despicable of crimes.
