Hell was let loose on Monday morning in Etitiama-Nkporo, Ohafia local government area of Abia state following the killing of a middle aged woman by her husband, Mr. Kalu Ilum.
Igbere TV gathered that trouble started when the late Ilum invaded his wife’s shop at about 7am on Monday and shot her, killing her on the spot.
The couple were said to have had unresolved issues, leading the late wife identified as Chichi, a food vendor to seek for a divorce.
After the dastardly act, the killer husband fled into a well for fear of attack by the locals.
An eyewitness told Igbere TV that it took the intervention of a native doctor to make the fleeing husband uncomfortable in his hiding place, a situation that forced him out from the well.
He was, thereafter, lynched on the spot by angry mob and later set ablaze.
His residence was also set ablaze by the angry youths, causing panic in the area.
The Abia State police command could not be reached immediately for comments.
