Man kills Wife In Scuffle Over Affair With Another Woman

Rofiat Okewola, a tailor, was furious when she caught her husband making love to a woman in an apartment in the Owode area of Sango-Ota, Ogun State on August 6. She had dashed out of her shop on Bosun Adeyemi Street in the Adalemo area of Lagos State and rushed home to confront her husband, Oluwole Okewola, and the strange woman. But the mother of four didn’t come out alive.

Findings revealed that when Rofiat confronted her husband and his lover who bolted immediately, her husband dragged her outside the love nest and smashed her head against the wall at the back of the building in a fit of fury.

A video of the scene obtained by our correspondent during a visit to the community shows the deceased gasping for breath after her head was hit against the wall before collapsing to the ground. Afterwards, her lifeless body was placed in the open outside.

The back of the building bears a gory reminder of the incident as blood from Rofiat’s battered head stained the wall.

The embattled husband, who works as a mechanic in the Abule Egba area of Lagos State was swathed by an angry mob who intercepted him as he attempted to flee. He was subsequently taken away by men of the Sango-Ota Divisional Headquarters led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO).

The angry mob condemned his action, stressing that he could have simply sent his wife packing instead of killing her.
