If tears could raise the dead, Hafeez Rasheed, allegedly stabbed to death by his wife, Molayo, would have ‘resurrected’ by now. But wishes were not horses, as her weeping and wailing could not repair the irreparable damage, done to the family by his alleged murder. But the woman in the eyes of the storm tried to justify her action.

“After stabbing him, I cried out for help, but our neighbours did not come to assist in saving his life. I cried for help but nobody came to assist me,” she lamented. The incident occurred at Ile Oloola Oja Igbo area of Ibadan, Oyo State. Problem started when Molayo was eating a loaf of bread and her husband decided to take part of it without her permission.

The 18-year-old woman was said to have challenged her husband for eating out of it. The suspect, a bread hawker, was alleged to have earlier quarreled with the victim, after he reportedly refused to give her N1,000, feeding allowance.

According to her, what her late husband could afford to give her was N70. She also narrated how they started fighting as a result of his failure to give her the money she requested.
“I was frustrated as he could only afford to give me N70, instead of the N1,000. We started exchanging words and he suddenly held my back. As I tried to lose myself from his grip, he started beating me up. Fight later broke out and it was in the process that I used the knife to stab him in the chest and he died at about 2.00 pm.

I didn’t know it would result in his death. I still blame our neighbours for not coming to his rescue,” she said amid tears. According to some neighbours, before the tragedy, the couple turned their matrimonial home to battle field.
The suspect also confirmed this: “We fought regularly and after each quarrel, which sometimes made me to go back to my parents’ house, my husband usually came to beg me to come back,” she said.

“I got married to my husband in 2007 and the marriage is blessed with a year old child. But my husband was not taking care of me and our child. He usually beat me up each time I requested money for the up-keep of the family,” Molayo said. One of the victim’s relatives said the family was still in shock over the tragedy. He disclosed that Rasheed was the only son of his parents.

“They always quarreled, but we didn’t know this could result in his death,” he said. He recalled how the suspect was sent packing on many occasions, but her late husband went and brought her back to the family. “Let Molayo face the consequences of her dastardly act,” he said.

The second-in-command at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, Ibadan, Mr. Okpara Benjamin, confirmed the incident. He disclosed that that the corpse had been deposited at General Hospital, Yemetu, Ibadan, adding that the suspect would be prosecuted after investigation.

I feel sorry for her and her son. She'd prolly be tried, disconnected from her son. Who will raise the child like his mother?

If Rasheed had been a good husband and father, he would still be alive today.

Ileke-IdI:

No.

When they were fighting if neighbours had intervened during the screaming & shouting it would not have happened.  I feel sorry for her but its caused by POVERTY!

Naija Women shaa?!

SO the man couldnt afford 1000, but gave her the 70Naira he had. Then he decides to eat some of her bread, she flies into a rage and stabs him to death and you people are blaming the man?! Na wah o!!

Did you remember to give the same excuse when the Florida pharmacist clubbed his wife to death with baseball bats?. Did you remember to give the same excuse when the English professor shot his wife and himself?. Did you remember to give the same excuse when the carpenter in Nigeria killed his wife?. Different strokes for different people, I guess. Selective justice at its best.

Have you also inspected the excuses I gave for the professor who killed his wife in Texas? Or the one that killed his wife in maryland?

It's not selective justice kan kan. It's Nigerian men not knowing how to be a husband/father.

Did you fcuxing read the story abt how he never cared for his wife and son, how when he always abuse her and the neighbors have to come and intervene? The neighbors just didnt this time around. We all know how restricted nigerian women, esp muslim ones, are in Nigeria. Who knows if she would have been punished had she left that peice of junk.

How did you get that from the story. "They always quarelled"[ most likely over money] is now twisted into the man being an abuser. Where did you get that from?
We are all responsible for our life choices anyway. There was no need to act in such a crazy manner to such a trivial incident.
That is terrible uncontrollable anger and wickedness at work there.
Saying she would have been punished for leaving her husband shows how little you know about Nigeria. What is new in divorce or separation in Nigeria?
Besides is she not now going to be punished for committing murder?

Do you know the full story? If she has anyone to go to after the divorce? How she'll take care of her son after the divorce?
Men always trying to vindicate their fellow men when they know how bushmantic / unreasonable Nigerian men are sometimes

in family we all have responsibilities. The woman responsilities has been turned to her right which if she like she do or don't in the feminist agenda, but the men responsibilities is a must do.
i repeat again women are well protected in the ambits of culture, well let me talk of mine. a man cannot raise his hands on the woman in my culture, other fellow men will deal ruthlessly on you.
if it is the woman that has that money and she refuses to bring it and during a quarell, the man stab her to death, will you take it
woe to men-women

Look here FL Gators you need to take things easy and really take your time to understand Nigerian society before posting on such sensitive topics.
The issue here is you are being too judgemental when you don't know anything about the circumstances under which low income families operate in Nigeria.
The man apparently is self-employed which in Nigerian context means he has no[b] regular [/b] source of income. He could go for days or even weeks without reasonable earnings. Remember that there is also no social security system there.
You would expect the wife in such a scenario to be understanding and also try to earn her own income by petty trade instead of endlessly nagging the husband over money. Loads of Nigerian women do this and are able to attain financial independence.
However this particular woman does have anger and tongue management issues. That is what led to the murder.

Ok ok, you do make some valuable points. I was agreeing with you until I read your last statement. . . .How did you know she had anger ans tongue management issues? Do you know her personally?

So his circumstances justify his abuse and regular beating of his wife? I don't get that. Even tho the circumstances are uncontrollable, his actions of abuse should have been controlled.

Ehrrm, yes, tell us less about YOUR culture and more about HERS.

need not tell you, but I know that women are well protected with the ambits of culture and tradition. that women is not allow to frek around and beer parlouring around does not means inhibition to their right.gosh even biological make of women inhibit them naturally. the question i have if the woman has the money and refuse the give the man and the man stab her to death, is that ok or if the man stab the women to death for refusing to give him Bleep, is that ok women need to grow up and take up responsibility squarely for their actions and stop whinning over non existent limitations.

I don't know anything about "regular beating" as that was not mentioned in the story. However I am naturally very wary of stories coming from suspected murderers as they can concoct any tale to escape conviction and crucially as the dead tell no tales.
Nobody except the wife knows for sure what exactly led to the stabbing murder. After all the photo itself indicates a single stab wound to the heart with the stab delivered with great force,
The question is was this a result of a messy brawl  or in fact a sinister and malicious vengeful attack launched when the husband was asleep.?
If there was a fight how come none of the neighbours intervened in what is supposedly a densely populated area?

What a pathetic story.

My oh my!!! You can't just assume that her story is false because she's the last one breathing. That was your first mistake.

“I was frustrated as he could only afford to give me N70, instead of the N1,000. We started exchanging words and he suddenly held my back. As I tried to lose myself from his grip, he started beating me up. Fight later broke out and it was in the process that I used the knife to stab him in the chest and he died at about 2.00 pm.

You determined that the stab wound was by a great force because. . . .? They could have been fighting over the knife and ish could have happened. Please assumption is never 100% correct, so don't go castigating a woman based on what your eyes saw, are you an ME? No, okay then.
We know that the story about him beating her is true because the neighbors have intervened in two or more of their fights. So if a woman was being beaten, at that point, she'd do anything to defend herself.

the crime scene looks like it was outside. . . . so her husband could have been sleeping on the floor outside?
