In Idekan Farm Settlement, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, residents were shocked when Matthew James allegedly killed his 55-year-old wife, Etim Mary, suspecting her of infidelity. The incident occurred around 8:00 p.m. on Sunday. According to community and police sources, James, now in police custody, attacked Mary with a machete, claiming they had a blood covenant not to betray each other.Â
