The suspended Transition Committee Chairman of Nnewi North Local Government Area, Hon. Mbazulike Iloka, popularly known as Mba Mba, who allegedly accused of killing his wife in a case of domestic violence gone bad, has been arrested.
It was learnt that Mba Mba is currently being detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Awka, Anambra State, under charges of culpable homicide.
His arrest was as a result of petition signed by the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, (HURIWA) on Monday which addressed to the Inspector-General of Police Usman Alkali Baba at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters.
It was reported that HURIWA dragged the suspended Nnewi North council boss to IGP Baba over issues bordering on domestic violence
Mba Mba had claimed that the deceased slumped and died on the fateful day while serving him food.
Source, however, alleged that his culpability over the death of his wife is not unconnected with his routine bashing of his wife before her death.
Police sources said they had commenced investigation into the matter.
