A 49-year-old, Lawrence Itakpe, has been arraigned before a Yaba Magistrates’ Court, Lagos State, for allegedly killing his wife, Rebecca, at their house in the Ajah area of the state.

Our correspondent gathered that the suspect and the deceased, who were married for 11 years with two kids, had an argument over sachet water.

In the process, the suspect rushed into the kitchen and returned with a kitchen knife, with which he allegedly stabbed his wife multiple times in the chest and neck.

A security guard was reported to have knocked on the couple’s door while the argument was on, but the defendant allegedly refused to open the door.

The police prosecutor, Inspector Haruna Magaji, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on December 5, 2022.

Lawrence was arraigned on one count of murder.

The charge read, “That you, Lawrence Itakpe, on December 5, 2022, around 5pm at 50, Abimbola Street, Seaside Estate, Badore Ajah, Lagos State, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully slaughter one Rebecca Itakpe, aged 47, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 233 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2015.”

Magaji asked the court to remand the defendant in custody for 30 days pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.

Granting the request, the presiding Chief Magistrate, O.Y. Adefope, adjourned the case till January 31, 2023.

The knife was sharper than the sharp mouth unfortunately. Death and life are indeed in the power of the tongue. You see the way some people run their mouths like taps today online and offline because of flimsy things like sachet water and political campaigns. You wonder at the ignorance.

No responsible and sane man would ever hit a woman..
I hope he's dealt with accordingly.. As the law provides..

We need the death penalty restored as a nation. Our country started a downward trend ever since it was removed. Life is no longer sacred. Political office holders are not afraid to steal because they know they can get away with it.

Walahi!, this wan weak me.

And you can't? Talks like this irritates me so much...

Like I said earlier, any man who hits a woman(irrespective of what she does) is insane..

If you wish to know the tribe that is the problem of Nigeria, compare the comments on this thread to the one where a man killed his wife over a loaf of bread. Now, be objective, judge for yourself.
