* A 29-year-old mother of two died in Owerri, Imo State.
* Her sister accusing the husband of beating her to death over N35,000.
* The husband claims wife suddenly screamed, vomited and died while eating.
The tragic death of Olumma Chizoba Lucy Akataobi has plunged her family into grief and her sister, Ezinne Onyedikachi Brenda Akataobi, alleges that her husband, Kelechi Prince Okeke fatally assaulted his wife after she demanded the return of N35,000 from her business transaction deposited into his account.
Ezinne insists her sister was healthy that day, having visited their mother and gone to the market, contradicting the husband's story.
She shared that neighbors overheard the couple quarreling inside their home shortly before the incident around 11 p.m and even posted a voice note from a neighbor who had returned from church too exhausted to intervene upon hearing the argument.
Ezinne cried out in videos: "Olumma, who did you leave your children for? Olumma, you allowed Kelechi to beat you to death. Olumma who did you leave your two children for. Nigerians please come to my help. Come and help my family, Nigeria, let us get justice."
She added, "Nigerians help me o. Domestic violence has killed my sister o."
In another clip, she challenged the husband's account: "She came back and asked for the money that she is going to use the money for turnover the next day, you killed my sister. And you're here, you're writing a useless statement that she vomited, she died, she was saying 'my chest, my chest'. Kelechi, you'll prove it."
Adding to the allegations of long-term abuse, a former landlady named Joy Maurice commented on Ezinne's Facebook post, revealing she once rented to Kelechi when he was dating Olumma.
Joy claimed he frequently beat Olumma during visits, prompting her to warn the young woman to leave him.
Instead, Olumma stopped greeting her, and Joy eventually issued Kelechi a quit notice.
Reports confirm Kelechi, described as a drug seller from Oriasheze, Umugota in Ngor-Okpala, is now in custody at the homicide department of the State Criminal Investigation Department in Owerri as police investigate.
