A 24-year-old woman, Olamide Akinbobola, who allegedly stabbed her husband to death in Ikorodu area of Lagos State, was on Wednesday remanded in Kirikiri Prison on the orders of an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court.

Olamide, a school teacher, appeared on a charge of murder.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. O.A. Komolafe, who gave the ruling, said the accused should remain behind bars pending advice from the State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

She directed that the case file should be duplicated and a copy forwarded to the DPP for advice.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Sgt. Kehinde Omisakin alleged that the woman committed the offence on May 30 at No. 1, Olupebi Abijo St., Gbaga, off Ijede Road, Ikorodu.

Omisakin had told the court that the accused stabbed her husband, Dare Akinbobola, 28, on his neck to death with a kitchen knife.

The woman however made a plea and claimed that she only stabbed her husband in self defence as he was fond of maltreating her.

According to her, she couldn't escape from him as he had bolted the door pinned her down while throwing blows at her.

The offence contravened Section 233 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 (Revised).

The offence attracts death penalty.

The case has been adjourned until July 12.

Sometimes when you're enduring in marriage, don't endure life or death situations.

This man must have been torturing this woman emotionally maybe physically sef. Just one retaliation put am for life trouble.

Her tears breaks my heart.
She was a victim of domestic abuse and then the frustration pushed her into this.

If it doesn't work out, divorce o.
Divorce is better than "had I known"

More like self defence.a good lawyer can spring her free.

you're still buttressing my point

Very disgusting how women are supporting this killer. Oriyintidaru

Lets wait and see how d court will judge the case,according to the law of self defence,one needed to defend him self with the exact weight of the weapon your attacker is using,if you fail to do so;then,you are liable but,in this case,the woman made use of a kitchen knife that's more higher and destructive than the man's hands,as it stand now,am afraid,she might face d hang man's noose.

Wat kind of self defense is dat?? Why didn't she leave instead of killing him. No sign of marks or bruises on her face. Any previous report of domestic violence? No... This woman is a... Exactly!
