The wife of a Nigerian-born US army officer accused of murdering her husband has finally shared her own side of the story.
Chuks Okebata was kidnapped and killed by unknown gunmen
The wife of a Nigerian-born US army officer, Chuks Okebata who was brutally murdered by unknown gunmen
in Imo state after he came back home for Christmas has written her own
side of the story following allegations that she was the mastermind
behind the assassination of her husband.
Many had speculated that she could have been the one who ordered
the husband's assassination because the serious marital issues the
couple were having in the United States before the man travelled back to
his village in Imo state.
Even the man's sister, Ada Mbaeri shared heart-wrenching videos of the marital squabbles to back up the claim that the man's wife might have been the one who hired assassins to kill the man.
In a swift reaction, the wife has responded to the allegations,
denying any involvement in the murder of her husband. She admitted to
their marriage troubles and alleged that her husband had been assualting
her all through their over a decade marriage.
Here is the woman's side of the story as shared by Amanda Chisom:
"My own side of the story
Amanda , I once came to you about my husband and his incessant
abuse and cheating. Yes I am the wife of the man who was assassinated,
and I am just distraught. I do not even know where to start but it is
only right I tell my own side of the story. I am innocent, God is my
witness that I did not kill my husband or the evil that my husband’s
family is portraying me to be, yes my sister in-law posted that video to
make me look evil but the part she did not tell anybody was that I was
calling the police to save me because he always beat me up and I was
told to call the police whenever he started and that was exactly what I
was doing, from the video you would see that I did not fight him or
answered him. Should I have allowed him to kill me?
Amanda, we have been married for 13 years since I was 19, it
has been beating upon beating, I have gone through surgeries because of
beating he gave me. How can I kill my husband, we live together, till
the day he left for Nigeria, I packed his things , how could I kill him.
Who do I know to order a hit on the father of my children? I have no
interest in his properties as suggested after all we built every thing
together. God knows I am innocent. He went to Nigeria and was going to
club spraying dollars and showing off, revealing his locations . They
want to pin my husband’s death on me, my husband was not assassinated.
He was kidnapped, because he is a military man he is always with a gun
and when he shot to death one of the kidnappers, they shot him. Why is
my family leaving out information about what happened and pinning it on
me?
I never threatened him to kill him, I am a working woman with a
paying job and have no reason to kill him because of properties . All I
just want is peace to mourn and raise my children. You can confirm my
story from those people in my home town. My husband was careless in a
country with high rate of crime and was kidnapped, if he had not shot
one of the robbers all we would have been talking about is paying ransom
not death. Amanda why would I kill the father of my kids, why would I
choose his death over a divorce if things were that bad. I have two
boys, who will help me raise them? I am completely innocent of all the
allegations. I have endured all this years through his beating and
cheating and I did not leave or kill him, why would I do it now? All I
ask is that I am left to mourn in peace and the killers found and
prosecuted.
Nne biko help me
I’m an innocent victim here.
I love my husband and I’m still in tears.
I’m mourning him and people are accusing them wrongly. My children are crying daily."
