Delta Woman Faces Trial Over Alleged Murder Of Husband And His Married Lover

The trial of Ufuoma Famous, a woman accused of murdering her husband, Famous Gideon, and another woman identified as Mrs Edoh, as well as attempting to kill a third person, Felicia, has commenced at the Delta State High Court, Ughelli Judicial Division.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the case came before the court presided over by Justice Sunny Adolor, where the prosecution opened its case by presenting two witnesses, including the defendant’s son.

The prosecution team, led by Peter Daubry, a Deputy Director in the Delta State Ministry of Justice, is pursuing a three-count charge against the defendant. The first count accuses her of murdering her husband, Famous Gideon, while the second alleges that she killed Mrs Edoh. The third count concerns an alleged attempt to murder Felicia.

The alleged incidents reportedly occurred in January 2026 at Ighrovie, Ughelli, Delta State. According to the allegations, Ufuoma attacked her husband with a machete, inflicting multiple injuries to his head, before allegedly attacking Mrs Edoh and injuring Felicia.

During the court proceedings, the defendant’s son appeared as one of the prosecution witnesses and gave evidence relating to the allegations against his mother. Another witness also testified in support of the prosecution’s case.

Following the testimonies, Justice Adolor adjourned the matter until November 5, 2026, for the continuation of the prosecution’s case.

The defendant remains accused of the offences, and the allegations are yet to be determined by the court.
