Love is said to be
the fire of life
that neither
consumes nor
purifies; but for
35-year-old
Janeth Odehgbe,
hers was a
different case as
she has been set
on fire by her
husband
following
disagreement
over her
collecting a cup of
wine from
another man
during a party
they both
attended.
Recounting her
ordeal in the hand
of her 39-year-
old husband, Mr
Kehinde
Adesanmoye,
Janeth told Crime
Alert that on
September 11,
2012 around 10
pm, her husband
poured petrol on
her as she was
preparing
Indomie noodles
for a customer
and fire caught
her immediately.
She was nearly
consumed by the
fire but for
passers-by that
rescued her.
She
said, “I saw him
coming towards
me, as he got
nearer, he
ordered my
customer to
leave and as I
tried to run for
my dear life, he
poured petrol on
me and fire
caught up with
me immediately.




Passers-by
rescued me and
ran after him to
fight him, but
immediately they
noticed it was
him, they all
went to their
various homes.

Then some of
them took me to
the Police station
and from there I
was taken to
Peaceful
Convalescent
Center, Alhaji
Obe Street, Ejigbo
Lagos.”
Janeth, who hails
from Isoko area
of Delta state
and earns her
living from selling
cooked Indomie
along Ikotun
roundabout,
claimed she was
illegally married
to Adesanmoye
(popularly called
Ogunlade) after
divorcing her first
husband.
Trouble was said
to have started
for the duo on
September 8,
2012 when
Adesanmoye and
his wife went for
a naming
ceremony of a
friend who stays
beside their
residence at 22,
Olaoluwa Street,
Abaranje,
Ikotun. “As we
got to the party,
my friends who
were also
present were
hailing me, calling
me ‘Indomie’,
because I was
known for selling
Indomie. I was
invited to sit on
the chairs they
have organized
for friends.
Adesanmoye
was sitting right
beside me.
“After some
time, my friend,
a vulcanizer,
Taye offered me
a bottle of wine,
but I rejected it
at the first
instance because
I was on my
menstrual period
and I don’t want
to take anything
alcoholic. But
when the
pressure from
my friends was
too much,
pestering me to
take the wine, I
decided to take a
cup.
“Immediately
Adesanmoye
saw me finish
the cup of wine,
he got up and
started going. I
ran after him to
ask what went
wrong. To my
surprise, he
started abusing
me and asking
why do I have to
collect a drink
from a friend in a
party while he
was sitting right
beside me, and
why do I have to
kiss a friend in
the party too?”
Janeth narrated
in pains.
The Isoko
woman, who
noted that her
husband
(Adesanmoye)
could kill her if
she should say
anything
whenever he is
angry, pointed
out that she
never said
anything in
response to her
husband’s
allegations.
“My husband has
always been
jealous. He used
to beat me every
time under any
guise and excuse.
I have tried
several times to
leave him but he
always
threatened to
harm me. I
stayed with him
because I was
afraid of him and
my life. He
always told me
that I could never
escape from him,
except I leave
Lagos State.
Anytime I said I
was leaving him,
he would say, no
problem, that he
would do
something to me
that I will not
forget. Now, see
what he had
done to me.
He wanted to kill
me” she added.
An unconfirmed
source intimated
Crime Alert that
Adesanmoye
was later
arrested and
detained at the
Ikotun Police
station. His
relatives were
alleged to have
called for
amicable
settlement,
offering the
victim a sum of
N100, 000 (One
hundred
thousand), which
the victim
reportedly
rejected.
She however
called on the
government to
ensure that her
husband paid for
what he did to
her, adding “am
an orphan. I have
no father or
mother. I sell
Indomie to live.
Now, I’ve spent
all my money. In
fact, I need help.”
