Jealous hubby pounds wife to death




Taofeek Badaru — Suspect

The advent of the Global System Mobile Communication (GSM) phones in Nigeria about a decade ago was generally adjudged a welcome development. It was a far cry from, and good riddance to the hitherto epileptic and restricted telecom services provided by the Nigerian Telecommunications Limited (NITEL). With the GSM services, Nigerians have unrestricted access to communication irrespective of status and creed. However, much as the services brought joy to its numerous subscribers, it nevertheless, has caused untold disaffection amongst many families. Many relationship and of course, marriages, have long packed up in the wake of this services in the country. Unfaithful partners have been detected through surreptitious conversations and or text messages. Such illicit conversations with an alleged male lover recently sent a mother of five to an early grave by an angry and jealous husband.

In the beginning

Mrs Titilayo Taofeek Badaru, a 30 -year-old petty trader met her man, Mr. Taofeek Badaru 31, about 12 years ago. While she was undergoing apprenticeship as a trader, her suitor was equally learning bricklaying. They courted briefly and got married shortly afterwards. The marriage which was blessed with five children was described by family members and acquaintances as a blissful union until Mrs Titilayo acquired a GSM handset. Consequently, strange telephone numbers especially, those belonging to male friends, started featuring in her phone book. Amorous text messages, illicit and late night conversations became a recurring decimal. These drew the ire of her husband who was reported to have confronted her on several occasions. But she was reported to have denied the allegations; accusing her husband of unwarranted jealousy. However, her alleged secret affairs got to a head last week Sunday, April 3, 2011, after her husband returned from a social outing, pretended to be drunk and staggered out to get some food items for the kids. Unknown to Titi who is also called Saida, her man was only feigning drunk and had actually sat behind their window when her handset rang to determine who the caller was. And true to his suspicion, his wife was conversing and fixing appointment with a male friend, ostensibly her surrogate husband. Apparently unable to control his emotions, Mr. Badaru stormed their one bedroom apartment and demanded to know who his wife had been conversing with. He was perhaps, too angry to listen to her wife’s defence as he dealt her several blows; sending her gasping for air. She was said to have struggled and forced her way to a neighbour’s room where she collapsed and died moments after. In the mean time, satisfied with the beating, Mr. Badaru retired to a nearby drinking joint to have some beer only to be called later that his wife was dying. Before he rushed to the room, his lifetime lover was already stone dead!

Arrest and confession

At the homicide section of the dreaded State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti Yaba, Lagos, Mr. Taofeek Baduru, the 31-year-old Toko, Ogun state born bricklayer told Crime Alert amid tears that he never meant to kill his wife. He stated that both of them took blood oath never to leave each other while courting saying, since he met his wife he has remained faithful to her. According to him, “ Titilayo is the love of my life. She was like a sister, a mother and a wife. Why should I kill the mother of my five children, for whatever reason? That day, Sunday April 3, 2011, my wife, our children and I went out since it was on a Sunday because that day is a free day for me. Later when we came back, I went out with one of my friends to have a drink nearby. At about 9. 30pm, I came back home but she told me that she would like to eat bread and fried eggs and I opted to go and buy them for her. But she said I was drunk that I should allow her to go for the items but I insisted. Just then, her phone rang and I quickly staggered out pretending to be heavily drunk only to hide behind our window to listen to whoever was the caller. I know she is dead now, she can hear but I cannot hear or see her; so it will be wrong as a Moslem, to speak ill of the dead. When I earlier noticed the change in her attitude towards me, I confronted her severally that she was having illicit affairs but she flatly denied the allegations. I had constantly reminded her that she should not cheat me because we were under blood oath but she seemed to have thrown that oath to the dogs. So that day, her phone rang and I pretended to be heavily drunk and staggered out and hid behind our window where I listened to all her conversations with one Ade. But when I came back to the room and demanded to know who Ade was, she said it was her brother, one Dauda that she was talking with. I demanded to see the number and call it back but she will not allow me. So in anger, I slapped her. The next punch went straight to her stomach and she forced her way into a neighbour’s room while holding tight to her belly shouting my stomach, my stomach. Since I got to know her, she had always complained of stomach problem and even before we packed to this new place, Temidire Kola street in Ipaja; my landlady revived her severally while I was away. I think she has serious stomach problem. Having escaped to a neighbour’s room, I left in anger to a nearby joint and tried to forget what had happened by calling for a bottle of beer only for one of my nieghbours to rush out calling on me that my wife was dying. In the rain I dashed to her room, picked her up and was rushing to a nearby clinic even as I was begging her to forgive me not knowing that she was already dead. It was when we got to the hospital that doctor declared her dead. I loved my wife, I love her so much even in death. My greatest problem now is how to take care of our five children all alone; because they are still very young. Our first child is only eleven years old.”

Police react

However, Police sources told Crime Alert that no matter how convincing Mr. Badaru may sound, the matter would have to be thoroughly investigated. Frantic efforts to get the reaction of the Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in-charge of SCID, Panti, Aromeh Ataboh, was not successful. But a source close to his office said it was the diligence of the ACP that led to the arrest and subsequent confession of the suspect. The source said, “ You know Oga is a critical and intelligent officer, it was his interrogative prowess that led to the confession of the suspect. Otherwise the suspect was denying ever beating his wife. We are still investigating and interrogating the suspect to corroborate his earlier statement. Again, everything may have to depend on autopsy because from what we gathered so far from the suspect, he said prior to her death, his wife had always complained of stomach problem. But in all, the law will take its course.”

I can understand you hold your intelligence so high and would not want anything to suggest otherwise.
That does not change the fact that you got it wrong before.

You wrote

Ocassions = Occassions. You can deny it till tomorrow and call me more names, it does not change the fact.

Idiiot. . .im sure an average ibo man would have killed his wife for money rituals.how is your cursed tribe better than yoruba ?oloriburuku.

Ha ha ha! they are getting smoked out from their caves

Input! Input! Input guys!

poor woman, i don't understand the man who kill teir wives

Igbos trade mark is criminality, cheat and lies. Get rich at all cost even taking your mother to shrine. What more, vitual all their women married or not are in to prosti. tution for peanuts.

There is NO rich man in Igbo land thats is not link with money ritual. Facts!

No sane person should dare venturing into marrying their women, else you marry akwuna.

For proof.
Goto ocabique in PH to watch their girls dance nude and a norny lap dance for single bottle of beer.
If you prefer jiggy , then be at Mr. Sweet to have range of varieties from medical student to professional bangers.

Igbos are the cheapest commodities in south east. Bang them for lunch or indomie with 2 eggs.

If you wan't mobile action, then i suggest you enter luxerious night bus from lagos to Enugu to get the opportunity of rotating like 4 punnies.

If you like forking those with mix northern accent, then wuse zone 4 is where you get it real nice.

In lagos be at silver bird with your ticket and pop corn. shikenan!

get it in your brain that the death was accidental which resulted from the fight between the couple.It's not the same as a regular ibo man that would have done so because of money.

List Keeps Growing: Evil, wicked, Blood-sucking Ibo Man Shoots Wife 5 Times in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Indeed, it has happened again! That was the cry among the Nigerian community in the United States when news about another family violence death broke. Sorrowfully the list of list Nigerian accused of murdering or attempted their wives grew today as a Nigerian man, Maximillian Ezimora, has been arrested in Atlanta after shooting his wife, Uchenna Ezimora, five times. The wife, described by a source as a hard working registered nurse in the Atlanta area, survived the shooting and is currently hospitalized.

Reports say 500 Nigerians are in US Jails charged with femicide
Mr. Ezimora, who reportedly hails from Adazi, Anambra State, is being held in Fulton County jail in Atlanta. He is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of firearms while committing a felony.
The couple owns a business, Maxing Groceries, on Fletcher Street in Atlanta. Reports have that the business license is in Mrs. Ezimora’s name.
Last year A Florida based Nigerian pharmacist, Olufemi Ademoye was charged for second degree murder for allegedly killing his wife over what family friends alleged as dispute over the paternity of the couple's 17 year old son. While on Aug 2010 One of Nigeria’s most respected poet and professor of English and Literature, Dubem Okafor died in the United States after shooting his wife Cheryl 37.
Other cases that made headlines are the Police arrest of a suspect, 41-year-old Kelechi Charles Emeruwa, on a first-degree murder warrant in the death of his wife. The children were unharmed and taken into custody by police. The children would be cared for by Child Protective Services until they could be placed with family members, according to police.
Emeruwa was charged in court the following day, Tuesday, with the murder of his wife.
In another case a Texas Dallas County jury recommended life in prison for Theophilus Ojukwu, 47, a Nigerian national after he pleaded guilty to the murder of his 36-year-old wife Melvina. The judge consequently sentenced him to life imprisonment. Theophilus on Saturday, March 25, 2006 reportedly fatally beat his wife on the head with a socket wrench while their four children, ages 4 through 9, were in the house and heard her screams.
Theophilus pleaded guilty after the 911 tape was played for the jury. In the recording, he admitted to the slaying. He is spending 40 years in prison before eligibility for parole.
Till Death Do Us Part’ seems to be a catch-all phrase demonstrative of how deeply in love bride and bridegroom are with each other when exchanging vows before a clergy, family members, friends and well-wishers. Little did Chidiebere, a nurse, know that her death would come in the hands of a man she once loved; a man that solemnly swore to protect her in sickness and good health, in poverty and in riches, and of course, a man that swore to be there for her until death do them part. Sadly, little did Ms. Ochulo know it was going to be a deadly broken vow!
This is another Nigerian marriage that ended deadly was in Burtonsville, Maryland on New Year, Monday, January 1, 2007. Another Nigerian abruptly ended the life of his wife in Burtonsville, suburb of Washington, DC. Mr. Kelechi Charles Emeruwa, 41, of Old Umuahia on New Year, cut short of his wife’s life, Chidiebere Omenihu Ochulo, 36, of Old Umuahia in their 4200 block of Dunwood Terrace in Burtonsvillle, Maryland home. It was reported that Chidiebere died from stab wounds. However, Officer Melanie Hadley, spokesperson for Montgomery County Police, could not confirm it citing, “official autopsy report is not out”.
Other similar stories of deadly domestic violence among Nigerians in the United States are the case of Mr. Theophilus Ojukwu, 46, of Enugwu-Agu, Ihe in Ogwu LGA, Enugu State, who killed his wife in their 5400 block of Barcelona Drive home in Garland, Texas on Saturday, March 25, 2006 has since been sentenced to life in prison.
Similarly, in Grand Prairie, a suburb of Dallas, Texas, Mrs. Monireti Abeni Akeredolu, a 46-year old Nigerian lady met her untimely death in the hands of her estranged husband, Mr. Ebenezer Akeredolu, Sr., 48, on Thursday night, September 8, 2005, a day after her birthday.
Also, on August 10, 2005 in Euless, a suburb of Dallas, another Nigerian husband, Johnny Omorogieva, 45, murdered his wife, Mrs. Isatu Omorogieva, 35, by savagely striking her on the head numerous times with a hammer in the full glare of his 7-year old daughter.
With the exception of Mr. Emeruwa who’s awaiting trial, these men have since been sentenced to prison. Unfortunately, the surviving children of these families are left to grow up without their parents.
Some people continue to wonder why some of these marriages end deadly. It appears that the gargantuan societal pressure of living a good life coupled with an undue burden from family members in Nigeria continue to exacerbate the already troubled many Nigerian marriages. Additionally, some Nigerian marriages in the Diaspora are steadily and surely growing out of love. Compounding the marital problem is the issue of infidelity on both sides.
Sadly, infidelity has ruined some Nigerian marriages in America. Some of the recent divorces have claims of infidelity as their primary causes of marriage travails.  Marital infidelity is causing a vast majority of Nigerian marriages flagging with the inevitability of total collapse. No other Nigerian community has suffered more jinx of infidelity than the Dallas area Nigerians.
The aspersion has permeated the fabric of what was once considered a cohesive community. This has broken the trust members of Nigerian community once had with each other. Sad still, the infidelity among Nigerians has been worsened by the recent trend.
The latest trend is the annual visit—pilgrimage as some call it—the men pay to Nigeria in the month of December. While in Nigeria some of these men engage in a high risk behavior with flawed boldness and reckless and perhaps, short-lived excitement in the face of ravaging effects of AIDS. This reckless behavior is utterly deplorable.
Nevertheless, it’s not only dreadfully wrong, but also sacrilegious for anyone to take the life of the other, especially his or her spouse. There are other options to get out of a marriage besides killing a spouse. Domestic violence is not one of them; Nigerian community everywhere must help stop this madness—domestic violence!
