38yrs old Oye-Lowo Ayediran Ajanaku was brutally stabbed to death early on Tuesday morning by his wife, Yewande Ayediran (nee Fatoki) at their home in Akobo estate, Ibadan after a domestic dispute.
According to reports, Yewande, a lawyer and a staff of Directorate of Public Prosecution at the Ministry of Justice, Ibadan, is also the daughter of one Honorable Fatoki and had been married to Ayediran for three years without a child.
On Monday night, she heard her husband had a son outside wedlock.
When the dispute between the couples started that night, Yewande had earlier stabbed Ayediran on his shoulder; the landlord had interfered and had settled the dispute and Ayediran had been taken to the hospital where his wound was stitched. Thereafter, he went home to sleep.
However, at the early hours of Tuesday morning while he was still sleeping due to the effect of the drugs he had taken, his wife again reportedly slaughtered him and locked the door refusing to call for help and ignoring his weak plea for help.
After a while, reports say his aggrieved wife called on the Landlady who upon response saw him in the pool of his own blood. He died few minutes later.
Ayediran’s corpse has been deposited at the mortuary.
Yewande is presently detained at the state CID Iyaganku, Ibadan. She was taken too the house where she had allegedly killed her husband on Thursday afternoon by the police for on-sight investigation:
Sources say her family are trying to use their influence to suppress the case.
