“I never killed by wife. She was so precious to me and all my bank accounts are in her name”
Details have emerged how the alleged wife-killer from Egbeda, Lagos eventually turned himself in to the police. He waspressurized by his 90 year old father to do the lawful. But before he eventually did that he had at a point contemplated suicide but was dissuaded by a good friend via sms.
When he finally presented himself to the police, the first thing he did was to call his dad on the phone to inform him that he has followed his instructions.
“I never killed my wife,” he maintained. “The cause of the quarrel was over infidelity. I over-heard her discussing on phone with one Kayode, who was her boss and lover.
“I never killed my wife. We had a normal quarrel after she owned up that she had a man friend. We didn’t talk over-night.
“She held my legs begging, as I was leaving the house that morning. And I pushed her away. As I left the house my son bolted the door behind me.
“Later, our nanny called to alert me of what had happened. I immediately called my landlady’s daughter, who confirmed that my wife was dead. As I was rushing back home, neighbours called to inform me that policemen were there that I should run away. That was why I ran away.
“I loved my wife; all my accounts are in her name. I bought her two cars and would not have wished for a better person as a wife. I did not kill her. She was hypertensive. “I never spoke with any journalist until now. The media misquoted me.”
He also said that that while he was hiding, he phoned his late wife’s alleged lover to tell him of the trouble he had put his entire family into. “I called Kayode and said ‘hope you have succeeded in ruining my marriage,’ and he apologized to me.”
