Once again, violence has hit home and the culprit is a Nigerian man, a husband and father. This is indeed a sad, sordid and shameful tragedy.
Akwete community, USA is shocked and saddened to announce the untimely passing of dear daughter, sister and friend, Mrs. Gloria Onwuka. Mrs. Onwuka was mischievously stabbed to death on August 19, 2006 night at her home in Hampton, Virginia. Her estranged husband, Mr. John Ownuka who was apparently in bitter divorce proceedings has been charged with the crime of first-degree premeditated murder due to overwhelming evidence against him.
Mr. John Ownuka killed his wife of about twenty-five years. He stabbed a woman (14 stab wounds) in her safest place - in her bathroom while she was getting ready to go to work. He killed a woman who put him through college where he obtained a degree in Physical Therapy. He killed a woman who shared her big mansion and paid all the bills. Most importantly he killed a woman who bore him four beautiful children. Mr. John Onwuka killed a woman who loved, cared and sacrificed everything for him.
Mrs. Gloria Onwuka was a young, beautiful and loving mother. She gave all her attention and devotion to care for her family. She raised her children with care, courage and compassion. She was faithful and loved her husband unconditionally.
Mrs. Gloria Ownuka was a caring, warm and loving person. She was full of life and energy. She had such an unusually capacity for friendship and to love people. As mother of four and hectic work schedule as a nurse manager, she engaged in community development and until her untimely death worked very hard to bridge the gap in our community. She was unassuming, unselfish and had a genuine interest in other people.
She was survived with four beautiful children, one daughter, three sons and a grandson born to her recently by her daughter.
The Akwete community in USA pledges your prayers and moral support.
