A 47 year old woman Olanshile Nasirudeen the fourth wife of a meat seller in Ogun State is in the custody of police at the Ogun state police command, for allegedly stabbing her 51years old husband to death.
The suspect was arrested, following a distress call received by the Divisional Police Officer Obalende divisional headquarters, Ijebu-Ode, that the suspect who sold meat with her late husband sighted a woman who her husband impregnated at the abattoir, and she started questioning the woman about her audacity to get pregnant for her husband.
DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi Spokes person for the Ogun State police command said
"This led to a hot argument between her and the deceased, as a result of which the suspect picked a knife, and stabbed the deceased at the back joint of his left leg, thereby, 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 has took to flight before their arrival. She was subsequently traced, and was 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 deceased had been released to the family for burial in accordance with Islamic rights after the autopsy has been conducted
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to Homicide section of the State Criminal investigation and intelligence department, for discreet investigation and prosecution.
