Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibadan

A lawyer, Yewande Oyediran, was arrested on Tuesday in connection with the death of her husband, Lowo.

Lowo’s family had also accused Yewande of stabbing her husband to death.
The husband resided in France, but had been coming home regularly since he married Yewande.

A family source, who is a brother to the deceased, said the husband was into property development and had come home in December 2015, to execute a job in Nigeria.

The family source told our correspondent that the family feared that apart fron losing Lowo, the case might also be lost because the suspect worked as a counsel at the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.

“She is a lawyer with the Oyo State DPP at the Ministry of Justice. She is also the daughter of an Anglican venerable in Ibadan. As an employee of the DPP, she could truncate the case. We heard that her family is making efforts to cover up this dastardly act using the state judiciary,” he said.

The Public Relations Officer, Oyo State Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Leye Oyebade, had ordered a thorough investigation into the case.

He added that the matter had been transferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation of the command for proper probe into the alleged murder. He said the suspect had been arrested, but had not spoken to investigators.

Ajisebutu said, “We received the report this morning (Tuesday), but information is still sketchy. The CP has ordered a thorough investigation to determine why the suspect, who is a state counsel, allegedly killed her husband. The murder weapon has been seized by the police. We cannot say much for now until investigation is completed.”
A government official, who did not want to be named, said the state was aware, adding that at the appropriate time, a statement would be made.

Don't generalize individual attributes Mr man. My fiancee is a lovely and unique specie/kind of woman. Copy?

Yewande is my colleague, we finished from the same school, the same year, called to the Nigerian Bar the same year, so quite, gentle and lovely. Something must be wrong somewhere. K'esu ma se wa.

He is some1 knw I saw him on Monday. He and his wife came by my ofis sometimes last year, he is a man full of potential. Chei wat a waste

People should stop putting their hands on each other. Stop provoking each other because one day, bush meat will catch the hunter. He dislocated her shoulder, gave her bloody injuries and expected to survive in peace on that house. It shows the level of abuse that has been going on. Don't push anyone to anger and frustration because when pushed too far, people fight back and dangerously too. He paid for his own death. Are you a child that you people will be fighting with blows? RIP, they must release the woman. By the way, marriage is not by force. Your spouse did not create you, hence has no right to destroy your life.

Jugular things.

What went wrong as you must have heard from feelers going round your office.

Ok

Maybe self defence, the wife is still a suspect I think, so let them finish investigation and tell us what transpired.

I hate argument like ki lode coz HAD I KNOWN is always the last words. RIP to the dead

When you tell them not to marry some type of women they would be forming "i love her"...

We are still trying to get her side of the story. Police is yet to grant access to her. I am in Lagos while she works with the Ministry of Justice in Ibadan. We have sent some of our friends to verify what went wrong.

Would it be safe for me to say including your own father and brothers if at all u have any?Smh

Na wa o.

Infidelity might be at work.

Confronting a woman about alleged infidelity and threatening to expose her to yours & her family can be deadly.

Some women can even connive with a long term local boyfriend to defraud her diaspora husband.

The stigma is still big for married women that they can go to any length to cover it up.

Leaving a wife in Africa while you live abroad is not ideal.

Not saying this is what happened but I won't be surprised if it is.

Like your father and brothers....ewu
