Eleven days after, Mr. Kolade Arowolo, who was suspected to have killed his wife, Titilayo, a banker with Skye Bank, Marina Branch, Monday denied stabbing and killing the deceased.

He said contrary to public opinion, the deceased stabbed herself to death.

The suspect was said to have killed his 29-year-old wife in cold blood at their No. 8 Akindehinde Street, Isolo, a suburb of Lagos, on Saturday, June 24.

According to him, he had been having serious issues with the deceased over their marriage before that fateful day that she ended up killing herself, after stabbing him too.

Recalling what transpired between them that day, Arowolo said the deceased was acting under the influence of demons that took over her body and turned her into another person entirely.

He said: “The woman was possessed that day and while we were quarreling, she went into the kitchen and brought out a knife with which she overpowered me and then began to stab me all over my body and head.

“The next thing I saw, she started stabbing herself repeatedly with the knife while telling me that she was tired of the marriage and that since I did not want to let her go, she will kill me and then kill herself.”

According to him, “We have been having issues since the day we got married so much so that I have contemplated divorcing her but because I am a spiritual person and church I pastor, I decided to manage.

“I am now regretting that decision because I should have been bold enough to divorce her and then face the consequences instead of this mess I have found myself.”

He went on to say that he never had plans to marry her as he had a lady he was dating but got lured into her web with the pregnancy she said he was responsible, adding that he only agreed to marry her when the pressure from her family became too much from him to bear.

Urging young men not to allow family pressure to push them into unwanted relationships, he advised them to be bold enough to stop any relationship that was not moving well before it culminates into marriage.

He declared as false, stories that he was probably frustrated because of his unemployment status, stating categorically that never at any time was he ever unemployed even when he left his accounting job.

He stated that even though he was not on any white collar job anymore, he had veered into a business where he deals with exporting cashew nuts to other countries.

Also tackling the issue of the deceased paying the house rent, Arowolo said that when they got married, the first house rent that was paid was solely with his money while admitting that the deceased supported him in the payment of subsequent ones.

When asked why the press was not allowed access to him since the incident, the suspect said that he was critically ill from the knife stabs from the deceased, stressing that he only became conscious last weekend.

Lamenting that stories claimed he ran from police men who met him in the blood soaked car, the suspect said after the deceased killed herself, he jumped down from the storey building and ran to his family members to report himself.

He said he was taken to Ejigbo Police Station where he was later moved to Aswani Police Station before he finally landed at the State Criminal and Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba

Which one we wan believe? The man could be right. It's sad the woman is not alive to tell her own side of the story.

You have a point but also note that nothing is impossible. Pls I'm in any holding brief for this man. Just looking at things objectively.

This guy could be saying the truth, but its hard to believe. Sometimes, truth sucks, just like him.

You're contradicting yourself man.

If given the opportunity to cross examine him, his defense is seriously lacking in many ways. Can he present any evidence to prove that the deceased is not the sole provider for the family.

The fact that he did not refer to her as his wife in all his statement shows that he has developed a deep hatred build on jealousy for the deceased.

crime scene forensic evidence stated that the deceased internal organ were found on the scene & yet he claimed she stab her self to death? how is that possible?

What does he mean by the statement "the woman was possessed"? possessed with what? when did he changed from being an accountant to being a psychologist?

There has never been a reported case of mental problem on the part of the deceased - how comes she just had a mental breakdown and attacked him unprovoked-? - and on overpowering him [as he claims] instead of killing him first before killing herself [which often is the case with psycho killers], she rather killed herself while still attacking him! [sounds very dumb!]

How comes during such gruesome attack no neighbour was alerted [knowing how Nigerians pokenose into their neighbours affairs]

Why did run to his relatives first instead of police station??

he has some serious questions to answer

So she mutilated her own organs after stabbing her sef abi? Very silly defense

May God deliver us from evil.

God punish devil.
