Mrs Queen Igbinevbo

The pregnant wife of Comrade Promise Igbinevbo, Mrs Queen Igbinevbo has died after she was raped and murdered at home.

Mrs Igbinevbo was alone at her home in Benin when her attackers came into her home through the roof.

The intruders were said to have come in search of her husband, Comrade Promise Igbinevbo, who is a Governorship Campaign Coordinator. However, when they didn’t find him at home, they raped and murdered his wife.

Mrs Queen, who is known as a very religious woman in her neighbourhood, was discovered by neighbours who were worried that they have not seen her in a while. 

A source said: “When we could not see Queen, I came to check if she was fine, because she lives alone, we met her naked, blood and foam was coming out of her mouth. There was semen all over her body.

The death of Queen Igbinevbo sparked a demonstration in Benin. On Friday, June 5, protesters took to Edo State Police Command to demand justice for the deceased.
