TRAGEDY
struck in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Tuesday, as a lawyer, Yewande Oyediran,
allegedly stabbed her husband to death with knife, around Akobo area, after an
argument on Monday night.
The
victim, Lowo, in his late 30s, was said to be living in Grenoble, France, but
had been coming home for some time since he married Yewande.
Sources
informed the Nigerian Tribune that Lowo was into property development,
revealing that Lowo returned to the country in December to execute a project.
Revealing
how he was killed, the senior brother of the deceased, Adelani Ajanaku, a
Lagos-based businessman and a former Special Adviser to the former governor of
Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, at the police station, on Wednesday,
said, “Lowo, a native of Gbongan in Ayedaade Local Government of Osun State and
an holder of French citizenship, was brutally stabbed to death early Tuesday
morning at their Akobo estate residence in Ibadan by his wife, Yewande
Oyediran, nee Fatoki.
“He
was first stabbed in the armpit and back by the wife around 12 midnight and was
rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. He came back from the hospital after
he was treated and the landlord settled the quarrel for them till about 3.00
a.m. and they went to sleep. But by 6.00 a.m., she went to stab him on the neck
while asleep.
“The
wife is a lawyer and a Staff of Directorate of Public Prosecution at the
Ministry of Justice, Ibadan.”
However,
another report had it that it was a case of fighting between two parties, as
the duo had earlier engaged in serious fighting with the woman said to have
accused the deceased of infidelity.
The duo,
it was gathered, had been married for three years without a child, but a source
said the husband had impregnated another woman and had a child outside wedlock.
The wife
was reported to have sustained serious injury on her head, including a
displaced shoulder and was on admission at an undisclosed hospital.
The state
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Adekunle Ajisebutu, said the state
Commissioner of Police “has directed that the murder case be taken over
immediately by the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department,
Iyaganku, for investigation.”
