Benin, Edo State, actor,Daniel Iyamu, has been reportedly murdered in his sleep by his wife.
The incident happened at their No 1 Agonse Street, Ugbihoko Quarters, Egor North East Local Government home.

Sources said his children alerted neighbours that their father was yet to get up at about 10am.
They broke the door and found Iyamu injured on the head.
The late actor’s daughter, Faith, who is a student of the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, told reporters that their mother was suffering from a mental illness, which their father had been treating since last year.
The late Iyamu’s wife, Grace, was arrested by the police after she reportedly confessed that she hit her husband with a pestle.
She was found unconscious in another room and was revived before being taken away by the police.
The policemen prevented angry residents from lynching her.
SUBEB Chairman Sir Joseph Emoabino confirmed the death, describing it as regrettable.
He said the police should be allowed to conclude their investigations.
