Ogun State Police Command has arrested 47-year-old woman, Olanshile Nasirudeen for stabbing her 51-year-old husband, Jimoh, to death.
According to the state spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was arrested, following a distress call received by the DPO Obalende Divisional Headquarters, Ijebu Ode, that the suspect who is a co- butcher with the deceased, sighted a woman whom her husband recently impregnated at the abattoir, and she started questioning the woman about her audacity to get pregnant for her husband.
This led to a hot argument between her and the deceased, as a result, picked a knife, and stabbed her husband at the back joint of his left leg; cutting one of his veins.
He was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital for first aid, and later transferred to Ijebu Ode General hospital, where he eventually gave up the ghost while receiving treatment, due to excessive bleeding.
” Upon the distress call, the DPO Obalende division, SP Murphy Salami, led his men to the scene, but the suspect had escaped before their arrival.
“She was subsequently traced, and eventually arrested in her hideout at Mobalufon area of Ijebu Ode.
“On interrogation, the suspect, who happened to be the fourth wife of the deceased, claimed that it was her husband who first slapped her simply because she asked his new wife her mission at her market stand.
“The corpse of the deceased had been released to the family for burial in accordance with Islamic rights after the autopsy has been conducted on it,” the Police spokesman said.
