Tragedy struck yesterday at Diamond Estate, Sango-Tedo, Ajah, Lagos, after a lady allegedly stabbed her husband to death, before stabbing herself too.
Today 3rd of
May, 2018, the Divisional Police Officer, Ogombo, Ajah, Lagos, received a
distress call at about 0730hrs, that one Mr. Otike Odibi, aged 50years from
Kwale, Delta State, was allegedly killed in his home at Diamond Estate,
Sango-Tedo Lagos, by his wife, one Mrs Udeme Odibi, 47years from Akwa-Ibom
State.
Based on the
information, the DPO mobilised a team of detectives to the scene where they
found the man lying on the bed in the pool of his own blood, with his stomach
ripped open exposing the intestine. As if that was not enough, the killer
severed his genital and placed it on his right hand. However, before the
arrival of the Police, Mrs Udeme who had unsuccessfully attempted to commit
suicide after allegedly killing her husband, was rushed to the hospital for
treatment by neighbours.
Sequel to the
above, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Edgal Imohimi, directed
Crime Scene Detectives from the homicide section of the SCID Panti Yaba and
Forensic experts to the scene to aid in the investigation.
Eye witness
account revealed that the couple both whom are lawyers, were married three
years ago after the deceased divorced his first wife. The deceased first
marriage produced a daughter currently schooling in the UK. However the current
marriage is said to be without a child.
Further
information from a neighbour, revealed that the deceased called him on phone in
the night before he was murdered, complaining that the wife was threatening to
kill him with a knife. The said neighbour however warned him to be careful. The
deceased also called his mother and his younger sister complaining of threat to
his life that fateful night.
The CP noted
that not too long ago, a husband allegedly killed his wife and baby in Banana
Island Lagos. He therefore advised couples to learn to resolve their
matrimonial disputes without resorting to violence.
