The streets of Benin City were filled with sorrow and anger as market women staged a massive protest demanding justice for Success Izekor, a 38-year-old pregnant trader allegedly murdered by her husband, Kelvin Izekor. The tragic incident has sparked outrage across the community, with calls for stronger action against domestic violence.
A Tragic End for a Young Mother
Success Izekor, who was expecting a child, was reportedly killed in her home on Upper Mission Road just months after her wedding. Reports suggest that her husband, Kelvin, was responsible for the heinous act, leading to public outcry and condemnation. The incident has left the local market community in deep shock, as she was well known among her fellow traders.
Market Women Demand Justice
In response to the tragedy, members of the Ikpoba Hill Market Women Association took to the streets, carrying placards and chanting for justice. They expressed their frustration over rising cases of domestic violence and the failure to protect women from such brutal acts.
During the protest, a spokesperson for the group alleged that Kelvin attempted to dispose of his wife’s body secretly but was caught by neighbors. This revelation further fueled anger, with many calling for his immediate prosecution.
Authorities Step In
The Edo State Police Command has confirmed Kelvin’s arrest, stating that he was almost attacked by an angry mob before law enforcement intervened. Officials have assured the public that a thorough investigation will be carried out and that justice will be served.
Despite the arrest, some protesters claim that Kelvin’s family is attempting to influence the case to secure his release. This has led to increased calls for transparency and swift legal action.
A Wake-Up Call on Domestic Violence
The tragic death of Success Izekor has reignited discussions about domestic violence and the urgent need for better protection for women. Advocacy groups are urging authorities to enforce stricter penalties for offenders and provide more support systems for victims trapped in abusive relationships.
The market women have vowed to continue their protests until justice is served, hoping that Success’s story will bring about real change and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
