A 32-year-old businessman, Ezekiel Igbokwe, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly killing his wife’s lover, Victor Olatundun.

Igbokwe was said to have killed Olatundun after he caught him having sex with his wife at their matrimonial home.

The suspect allegedly committed the offence at about 12am at Peace Lodge on Itura Street, Awa Ijebu, Ijebu-North Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The suspect, who committed the crime on Wednesday, July 27, was arrested by the police the following day.

Igbokwe and his 28-year-old wife were among the 23 suspects paraded at the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, on Thursday, for various offences ranging from murder to illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

Igbokwe, who said he was a businessman, explained that he had returned from his trip to Onitsha and met Victor on top of his wife on their matrimonial bed.

He said he picked a machete in the toilet and cut the victim in the neck and hand.
Olatundun reportedly died on the way to the hospital.
Igbokwe, who deals in electronics, said he was born in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State.

He said, “I travelled to Onitsha on July 25, and when I came back on July 27, I met a man inside my room making love to my wife. Then we started fighting. The man was stronger than me. When I saw he could overpower me, I got a cutlass in my toilet and dealt him blows in the hand and neck. On the way to the hospital, the fuel in the car finished and he died.”
Igbokwe said he committed the crime due to anger, adding that he never meant to kill the victim.
He claimed that he had never met Olatundun before, saying he also never suspected that his wife was having an extra-marital affair with anyone.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Igbokwe and his wife, Juliet, have three children aged nine, seven and five.
Juliet, who sobbed intermittently, said her alleged lover had been pressurising her for a relationship for some time.

She explained that she had always told him she was married, but the victim never gave up until he ended up at their matrimonial home on that night.

Juliet, who said she sold snuff, said Victor was her supplier and he pestered her for six months before she finally gave in.
She said she suspected that the deceased used a charm on her, as she could not explain how it all happened.
She said, “He had been disturbing me that he wanted to marry me, but I said I was married.

“On the day of the incident, I really can’t say if he used a charm on me. All I know is that he called me that he wanted to see me and I told him not to come; he knew my house and when he came, I didn’t know what happened.

“He used to come and deliver snuff to me in the house. On the day of the incident, he told me he was coming from somewhere and that it was already late. He wanted to sleep in our place till the next day. He didn’t know that my husband was away. He tried to sleep with me, but later he didn’t.”

Juliet, who claimed that she got married to her husband in 2005, said the husband did not take good care of her and the children.
She said their marriage had been turbulent and fraught with fights and quarrels. The mother of three said each time there was a fight, her husband would leave the house for months. Punch

Toto is a kind of food.. sweet like sugar

She claimed he persuaded her for six months before she gave in..
Reminds me of what a friend said to me "woman na your own only when you dey with her"
Now she's playing the victim card saying her husband doesn't take care of her.. so the victor man takes care of you by sleeping with you??

What is it with guys that try by all means to taste the cookie of a married woman?? Is there some goodluck portion in the hole??

To sleep alone on his prison bed.

Nigerian Police sabi rub salt to injury sha

Why dem come go cuff the man join the cheating woman na?

To the tribal linguist here...what is your take on this news?

The future is female

I will not throw my life away over a woman...

Anger will not destroy my destiny...

I always pray to God to change my heart and make me more like Christ.

But
Seriously, dude has lost both life and business, family et al. The wife will be released to continue her life, but Mr igbokwe, just lost everything to anger.

Right now, he will be wondering if it was all worth it?

Smh...infidelity thrives more in marriages today.

it is of utmost importance that you take note of the things that can belittle a man's potency when it comes to satisfaction matters..The post below is a great eye opener

The man will be given a short sentence because the case is not murder butan slaughter.

Maximum 5 years

I'm not surprised that Yoruba's are supporting the dead because he was Yoruba.

Anyways you people don't value the marriage institution.

I don't understand why the woman was arrested.

Hmmn, okay.

My brother have u gone on prison visitation before?
I wouldn't wish a few days in a Nigerian prison on my worst enemy.
U will think staying behind bars is bad until u get to jail. And to think that his wife is free to do as she will.
At a minimum with swift efficiency( since when has our justice system been efficient?) 2years.
But with all the foot dragging, adjournments and strikes, he may well spend long years more than the 5 years

So married women can also cheat, one would think it's only their male counterparts that cheat.

Men....The future has gat a very wide kpekus indeed...

May jah keep us far and safe from females that may lead us into trouble.......

For marriage is a beautiful thing,but that's when you're in it with somebody whom you're destined to be with.....But pray the devil shouldn't hijack it all the way like Nigerian political thugs hijacking balot boxes..

The day I caught a married woman who is highly respected in my hood cheated on her husband that day I stopped trusting any married woman,
FEAR WOMEN O!
