The Eboma family of Idumu-Oza Community in Agbor Kingdom, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, has called for justice following the tragic d3ath of their daughter, Etunim Henrieta Ebere Sunday (née Eboma), a mother of three.

.....

Speaking with Ika Newspaper, the family patriarch, Mr. Friday Eboma, expressed deep sorrow over the loss, alleging that Etunim was subjected to prolonged domestic abuse by her husband, Mr. Ebere Sunday, an indigene of Alisimie, Agbor.

“Ebere Sunday beat Etunim to d3ath so he could marry another woman he claimed was pregnant for him,” Eboma said.

“It was only after her d3ath that we discovered she had been enduring severe and frequent beatings in her marriage, which ultimately led to her untimely d3ath.

“The last incident occurred on January 23, 2026. According to her children, their father locked their mother inside the house and beat her with a Lister generator belt. She fainted and was rushed to the General Hospital, Agbor, for treatment.

“Since that beating, our daughter had been in and out of illness until she gave up the ghost on March 24, 2026.

“Ebere’s family members have come to plead with us, but we will not accept it. We have resolved that he should come with his people to explain the circumstances that led to our daughter’s d3ath.

“I recall that as a carpenter, he met Etunim during the Idumu-Oza road construction and persistently appealed to her to marry him.

“His children also confirmed that their father constantly beat their mother, not only at home but even at her shop on Imudia Street, Agbor.”

Also speaking, the younger sister of the deceased, Blessing, said she received a distress call from her late sister, prompting her to travel from Lagos to Agbor.

“My sister was tortured to d3ath by her husband. Before her d3ath, she lived in fear and trauma due to constant abuse.

Conclusively, the Eboma family vowed that Ebere Sunday would not go scot-free for k!lling their daughter, Etunim.

The grieving family has called on relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding Etunim’s d3ath and ensure that justice is served.

Efforts to reach the accused for comment were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.
