Imo lawmaker Kanayo Dele Onyemaechi accused of snatching cousin’s wife

The member representing Owerri West at the Imo State House of Assembly, Kanayo Dele Onyemaechi has been caught up in a wife snatching scandal.

A popular Imo-based commentator, Darlington Ibekwe reports that hell was let loose on Thursday evening at the New Owerri residence of Hon Onyemaechi when his cousin identified as Goodluck stormed the residence to attack the lawmaker for allegedly snatching his wife.

Goodluck reportedly charged towards the lawmaker with a machete threatening to kill him if, within one week, he doesn’t return his wife.

It was also gathered from Umuogide Olaukwu-Oforola in Owerri West that Mr. Goodluck had an issue with his wife over infidelity and she left him and ran to Abuja where she now lives in a house belonging to Hon Onyemaechi.

It was also said that the lawmaker opened a lavish stockfish business for her at Garki II axis of Abuja which Goodluck recently learnt of, triggering his anger even more.

Kanayo Dele Onyemaechi was elected to represent Owerri West State Constituency at the Imo House of Assembly on the platform of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019 but he defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after the Supreme Court of Nigeria declared Hope Uzodinma as Governor of Imo State.

The lawmaker is yet to speak about the scandal.
