...My husband had threatened in the past to kill our children

Mrs. Millicent Amadigwa, the mother of the three girls who were allegedly killed and dumped in a deep freezer by their father, 52-year-old Ifeanyi Amadikwa, at their home on 74 Nkwubor Road, Emene, Enugu, has broken her silence, IgbereTV reports.

On Wednesday, news media reported the sad story of how police arrested the suspect on January 4 after the children, Chidalum Amadikwa aged 11 (who is his step-daughter), Amarachi Amadikwa aged 8 and Ebubechukwu Amadikwa aged 4, were found dead.

In an interview with Punch, Mrs. Amadigwa who sells tomato and pepper for a living, said her husband who has been unemployed for a few years, had in the past threatened to kill their children. She said she took his threat seriously and reported it to his aunt who asked her to disregard it as it was just ''a mere threat''.

Mrs Amadigwa while recounting how she found her dead children, said on the 4th of January, her girls woke up in the morning while she was preparing to go to the market. She said she instructed them to wash their clothes after eating while she left the house with her son, Akachukwu, to the market where she sells.

The distraught mother said when she came back, she was surprised that none of her children ran out to welcome her the way they normally do whenever she returned home from the market. She stated that she asked her husband for their whereabouts and he was very nonchalant, asking her to go and look for them herself.

She said she went to a neighbor's house to search for them but did not find them there. Mrs. Amadigwa said she returned home and was about to grab something to eat when her husband shouted, saying she should come and see the children in a deep freezer by the entrance of their house.

She said they rushed the children to the hospital where the doctor confirmed them dead.

Mrs. Amadigwa says she suspects only her husband as the person who killed their children

''No one again except my husband because he has threatened this children that he will kill them. He said me and him will appear in newspapers.''

She said he had been threatening her since last year without any valid reason.

''I reported the threat to their senior sister, Aunty Ann who lives in Owerri. She told me it is just ordinary and that he wouldn't do anything''

She said she also told her older brother who called him on phone and warned him not to harm anyone. According to her, her deceased children were always reluctant to collect anything from their father because of his hostile attitude towards them.

She said her husband worked in two different companies before traveling to Dubai. He returned two years ago and has remained unemployed, thereby, failing to provide for their family. She said on the day of the incident, her husband bought some chemicals which he said he wanted to pour in a well dug in their compound. She said she believes he used the chemicals to kill their children.

Mrs Amadigwa said her husband is still insisting that he did not kill the children.

The police say the matter is currently being investigated.

Mkpulu mmilli

What poverty can not cause does not exist.

from Cone head region to Cold Room region....

Igbo has some stupid culture. Its only in lagos you see more civilized igbos. He threatened your biological children's lifeand you were consulting instead of taking serious action.

When their wedding is like selling their daughter. The man and the woman should be jailed!

What nonsense!

His mental health issues were trivialised as is usually the norm here in our climes.

So saddening...

Poor innocent kids.

What an oloriburuku man frustrated and miserable with life,
Many of them abound, people just wicked and miserable with everything around them.
Why can't he just take his miserable life and let the innocent children enjoy their lives.
Stupid Coward that is afraid to die.

What nonsense!

Edited!
We true, sane, honest and hardworking Igbos do not kill our children biko.
Only some brainwashed animals can do that.
Please, people should stop mixing us igbos and the cannibalistic animals called ipob together!
We will keep advocating for this.

They should kill the bastard asap, he's not worth living among human beings.

You will perish in hell Ifeanyi Amadikwa, the murderer and devil in disguise.

Still wondering why he killed them. Could it be frustration or because of their gender?

Listening

Cursed family

There's no need taking the man to the hospital for mental evaluation, He should just rot in jail. He's a beast and he should be separated from human beings.

What a wicked and heartless man.

Some men are just animal

But we don't need any in Ogun despite consistent missing heads and skull mining

Ok

Sad

So painful

May God Grant her the fortitude to bear the loss.

Honestly those cannibalistic animals from the AfghanEASTERN region are so despicable, lawless, wicked, cruel and perverted. If this happens in another region apart from thier they will start insulting, calling some people names while they are the real ritualists cum human eaters. Imagine this babarian eating human flesh.

You will see them keep mum on this particular issue. Those people are the real terrorist in this Nigeria.

Let's not get tribal about this please...


Cause on this same nairaland we have seen killings of Young children from both north, south and east and also west...


May killers like him never go Scot free!!!!
