Nigerians who kill their wives in America

It has happened again. This time in St. Louis Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota. I'm not sure what happened and I haven't been extensive in my news related analysis until a couple of nights ago when I called my buddy, Mike Egi who lives in one of St. Paul's suburbs asking what is shaking out there in the Mid-West.

"Oh, You don't know what is going on?" "An Igbo guy just killed his wife last week and it has been all over the news."

"Whao, so what's up with all these our men who can't move on with their lives, no matter what?"

Well, it is sad indeed when you have men who descended so low in life to use murder as a last resort. The case of Mike Iheme is one of many cases where Nigerian men had taken up the measure in murdering their wives in the most brutal of circumstances.

On July 24, Mike Iheme drove to where his wife worked at an assisted living center firing shots at her car as she was preparing to leave. Hennepin County court records confirmed the victim Anthonia Iheme "had an active harassment restraining order against (Mike) Iheme" who made the 911 call proclaiming "I have killed the woman that mess up my life...a woman that had destroyed me."

Now he has a subtitute. He will spend the rest of his life in jail.
