NIGERIAN IMMIGRANT SHOOTS ESTRANGED WIFE, A NURSE, SEVEN TIMES OUTSIDE MINNESOTA NURSING HOME
A disturbing case involving a Nigerian couple in the United States has drawn attention following the killing of Anthonia Eberechi Iheme, a 28-year-old Nigerian nurse, by her estranged husband, Michael Collins Iheme.
According to reports, Michael shot Anthonia seven times outside a nursing home in Minnesota. He reportedly claimed that she had told him their child was not biologically his.
The couple got married in Nigeria in 2003. It was Michael’s third marriage. He later admitted that he had initially been reluctant to marry Anthonia because of their significant age difference and his suspicion that she was interested in obtaining U.S. permanent residency.
They had two children together: a son born in 2005 and a daughter born in 2006.
After relocating to the United States, Anthonia obtained legal permanent resident status in April 2006. However, their marriage eventually collapsed, and they separated in August 2007. Michael filed for divorce the following month.
At the time of the shooting, the estranged couple were reportedly involved in a custody dispute over their two children.
The tragic incident highlights the devastating consequences of domestic violence and unresolved marital conflicts, leaving two young children to face life without their mother.
💔 May her soul rest in peace.
