“My lawyer will talk to all of you in due time. All I can tell you is that look at my hand, my chest and all my body.

She even injured me as I tried to collect the knife from her. Please, talk to my lawyer. The investigation is going on and he will talk to you in due time. You are talking about my wife here and not any other person. I am undergoing medical check-up and I am not in the right mood to talk to anybody, please, talk to my lawyer.( weeping) I beg you in the name of God.” Daily Sun gathered that Arowolo allegedly stabbed his wife several times in the neck and some other parts of her body.

He said the detectives swung into action and on, June 25, the said suspect was apprehended. The case has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti,Yaba, Lagos. He said on interrogation, Arowolo told the police that it was his wife that stabbed herself to death. He assured that investigation is still on in respect of this case. “The corpse of the victim had been deposited at the morgue of General Hospital, Ikeja., where autopsy report will be performed any time from now, to determine the extent of injury sustained through that particular act of the husband, despite the fact that her husband has denied stabbing her. Meanwhile, Arowolo will be taken to a psychiatric hospital to be examined to know what has actually gone wrong with him. And why he perpetrated the evil act,” he said.

Arowolo’s lawyer, Vincent Obianoyi has appealed to journalists to exercise patience in other not to jeopardise the investigation that is going on .Obianoyi said Arolowo should not make any statement or comment until the police investigations are out. It is safer for both parties to keep their gun powder dry until police investigations are out. And beside that, making a statement now may even further affect the already fray nerves ”,he said.

Psychiatric test?
Well, its all, good, he has sown, with time he will reap what he has sown.

Has the police actually investigated anything apart from detaining the guy and making some threatening noises which his lawyer has successfully quelled? They should try some Guatanamo Bay techniques on the guy and by now they'll have enough evidence to send the guy to the gallows.

Psychiatric evaluation my foot. Mscheeew!
