lorretta u: are you really asking that question?are u a visitor in Nigeria?where the men feel their wives are their properties.cases of husband mudering their wives is a dime a dozen.this is just one of the few cases that get taken to court.the other lady that died in my area was beaten to death by her husband cos she had the 'effrontery' to take 'his' money to buy baby food for 'their' three month old baby.
If this man is truely guilty,I suggest they not only hang him but burn his corpse as well and flush it down a pit toilet swarming with maggots and houseflies. NONSENSE.

My dear, domestic violence/wife battering is NOT a norm in Nigeria. Rather, it's an individual thing driven by certain emotional or psychological factors. Anybody can be led negatively by voices in his head.

I am never in support of death sentences. In as much as I condemn domestic violence in strong term, whether from the wife to husband and vice-versa, madam to maid to children, etc. Death sentence has never brought succour and fulfillment to the victim or loved ones. I believe in reform and reorientation of minds. Most domestic violence that lead to death occur out of self-defence. Juries/judges should be able to consider certain factors before verdict.

If something good happens to us na by grace of God. If something bad happens it is the devil. We don't PAUSE to analyse why, what, how it happened so as to prevent it happening next time to us and others.
No.

Husband kills wife or vice versa has been happening for centuries yet the world did not end.

Your assertion is debateable about how widespread domestic violence is in Nigeria.

However you are right on the money about emotional and psychological factors leading to such deviant behaviour in any society.
Thank you!
Peopel who feel such tendencies should seek psychiatric and psychological help sharp, sharp rather than ONLY praying to God who says he already made us ALL in His image i.e.with intelligence to sort ourselves out.
We need to change our attitude to mental health.

This is a better reasoning than saying na work of devil and talikng about end times.
SMH.

@lorretta u my darlng, you are one angry lady...I hope all is well with you?

^^^ and I just noticed you a a beautiful lady too

He should'nt be hanged by d neck instead he should be hanged by d balls till confirmed dead

coogar: shame on the nigerian judiciary!
there was no single witness to this killing and there's no forensic evidence. all they had against him was a bunch of circumstantial evidences and that cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt in an alleged murder case.

he should have been given a life sentence on the off-chance that someone might turn up later to give a witness account. what if they hang him tomorrow and it turns out someone else actually killed his wife? i thought the legal system would rather let a criminal walk free than kill an innocent man.

this judge should be arrested - he's brought untold shame to my country. this is tribalism at best. an igbo judge sanctioning the death of a yoruba man without a substantial evidence. i hope this ruling is appealed! how can you condemn a man to death without evidence but hearsays and cheap gossips? what a shame!!!!

You actually wrote sum very gud points and reasons but scattered evrytin by indulgin in Ethnic nepotism..guy U no try at all! Smh

Thank God the man and his murdered wife are both yorubas.
I can only imagine what you and other ethonocentric bigots like you would have said if the wife were Igbo

oh please - you cannot sanction capital punishment on hearsays....this is nigeria we are talking about. a place where anyone seen 5 days later at a crime scene is guilty. no forensic evidence, no witness account - where's the proof beyond reasonable doubt?

the wife is igbo - duh!
why do you think the judge sanctioned a death sentence? it's been played on his mind that an Yoruba bloke came to their land to murder their daughter. her name is theodora - no yoruba family names their girl as such.

and for the record, i am not a bigot, the judge is the bigot.

I take back my comments IF the woman is Igbo and it can be ascertained that the hanging judgement is based on that.
However, we need to verify that ABSOLUTELY as we cannot condem the judge for not having ABSOLUTE proof while we at the same time crucify him without having ABSOLUTE proof of the whole matter ourselves.
Fair enough, I hope!

It is very unbelievable that the man has to go that far, i know the did has been done, i pray the court to have mercy upon him for sake of the two children.

we have not condemned the judge to death. the judge has condemned a man who might be innocent to death. shouldn't the judge know better? the law would rather let a notorious killer walk free than kill an innocent man....this judge has rapëd nigeria's judiciary system. he should be arrested for bringing his noble profession into disrepute!

Akshow: so na for only nigeria men de kill their wife abi? Abi u never ever hear say woman kill her husband. this is not a gender issue cos it goes on both ways though one may be higher than the other. condemn the act not the sex of the offender cos women too kill their husband. and if u think its only a nigerian thing, tune to channel 171 investigation discovery on dstv and see as white women murder their husbands for the flimsiest of all reasons.

I say what I know and what happening around me.I don't speak of what I can't verify.I'm not in the white man's land so whatever they do there,a white person can come and educate us.as for domestic violence in Nigeria,men are carrying the gold cup.there's no doubting that.and it's not a gender issue it's a family problem which needs to be adressed by re-orientation.

actually,I think you should get out some more.go to family health care centres where mostly women in need of help come to.listen to people and occurrences around you.put your ears to the ground.and you'll be surprised at the increasing rate of wife battery.

That's Nigerians for you, always talking out of the 2 sides of their mouths. If either the wife or husband had gone to them for advice all they would have said is stay and pray forgetting how quickly things can escalate. When 2 people live together with so much anger and bitterness most times it will escalate to violence especially as we don't go for any proper counselling in these parts.

You are questioning the judge because the muderer is from your tribe. Do you understand the law more than the counsel for the accused who asked for mercy? Why didn't you go to Aba to defend the killer? He who kills by the sword must die by the sword. The Judge can not bend the rules because of a bigot like you. Al Mustapha and rv King were all sentenced to death, heaven did not fall. Stop whining.

Good for him.Waiting for the one that killed his banker wife here in Lagos.Why is it that bankers are victims of domestic violence in Nigeria?

shut up your rotten mouth!
i don't give a flying fück where the accused comes from - i am questioning the competence of the judge because he sentenced a man to death based on hearsays. where in the world does that happen in law?

you are a fool!
were you there to know the man did the killing. "he who kills by the sword dies by the sword" does not apply here cos there's no compelling evidence this man killed his wife. you have to show proof he did and there was no proof!!! troglodytes like you are the reason the country is backwards - that was how your ilk murdered 4 undergraduates in ALUU village - based on hearsays!

There was a substantial evidence presented to sentencing him to death.

the judge is the bigot, not coogar. he wouldn't have sentenced him to death if he was his kinsmen. i am all for a wife-killer to get punished if he's guilty......but where's the proof beyond reasonable doubt that this man is guilty of murder?

FYI Yorubas bear Theodora! I know a lady by that name Theodora Abosede Omobomi! She is YORUBA! And Theodora just like Theophilus are both 'English'names that any tribe can bare!. I don't know if the wife is yoruba or igbo I really don't care! Someone was killed and the killer has been judged at the jurisdiction where the crime was committed that's all that matters!
@op wassup with the Theos na? Theo kills Theo in Governor Theos state? Hope the judges middle name aint Theo?

and you are 100% sure this woman killed his wife?
even advanced countries with efficient policemen and forensic teams make mistakes of putting innocent men in prisons, let alone a useless country like nigeria....

this is the reason capital punishment is abolished in western europe. once a man is killed, how do you reverse the decision especially when there's no compelling evidence he's guilty.

how can you not see the idiocy of this judgement?

nope,
there are brilliant people in nigeria but the far majority of people like this judge is useless. the fools certainly outnumber the geniuses and this is the reason the country still slumbers at age 52.

i reiterate, nigeria is a useless country!
