  • In early January 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Schio, Vicenza, Italy, where a 36-year-old Nigerian woman, Queen Enabuele, was arrested for the alleged murder of her 32-year-old Nigerian boyfriend, Kelly Egbon. (RAI NEWS)

    The event unfolded on January 6th in their shared apartment located in the historic center of Schio. Neighbors alerted authorities after hearing a heated argument between the couple. Upon arrival, the police discovered Egbon's lifeless body, with a fatal wound to his left femoral artery, leading to his death from excessive blood loss. (ADNKRONOS)

    Initially, Enabuele claimed that Egbon's death was accidental, suggesting he had fallen onto a glass table, causing the fatal injury. However, inconsistencies in her account and forensic evidence led to further questioning, during which she confessed to stabbing Egbon. She alleged that the act was in self-defense during a violent altercation, stating that Egbon, inebriated at the time, had assaulted her and threatened her with a knife. In the ensuing struggle, she managed to seize the weapon and inflicted the fatal wound. (RAI NEWS)

    Following her confession, Enabuele was taken into custody and is currently held at the Montorio prison in Verona, awaiting further legal proceedings. The case has garnered significant attention, shedding light on issues of domestic violence within immigrant communities in Italy.

    This tragic event underscores the critical importance of addressing domestic violence and ensuring that support systems are accessible to all individuals, regardless of gender or nationality. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, it's imperative to seek help immediately. In Italy, the national domestic violence helpline is available at 1522, offering support in multiple languages.

    Dear Nigerian Men in Diaspora, we advocate for women so often but it is important to note that Domestic Violence can happen against both genders. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Shame should never replace a life lost. By reaching out to these organizations or local authorities, victims can access the support they need to protect themselves and begin the journey toward healing.
