A 23-year-old housewife, Damilola Ayeni, who was said to have stabbed the 36-year-old husband in the chest, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police command.

Damilola Ayeni who got married to her husband two years ago, a union that produced two children, stabbed her husband, Olumide, to death following a disagreement on Friday at their house on Bamgbose Street, Lagos Island. The deceased who was rushed to Lagos Island General Hospital, was pronounced dead by the hospital.

The couple’s marriage was fraught with disagreements, and according to the deceased’s father, Sunday Ayeni, who reported the case to the police he had tried to intervene, but he was stopped by some family members, who warned him to back off. The Ikale, Ondo State indigene told Punch's correspondent that his son was murdered by the wife over suspicion of infidelity.

 “My son and I work at the Lagos Island General Hospital. While I work as a security guard, he worked in the pharmacy department. They got married at the Ikoyi registry.

“They had issues many times and my son reported her to me. I told them to go their separate ways, but people said I should not come between them.

“On Friday, after my son and I closed from work in the evening, he went for a party. Around that time, he called his wife on the telephone and they spoke.

“When he returned home that night, his wife waited for him at the door and stopped him from entering. She said she heard the voice of a woman in the background when they spoke on the telephone and accused him of infidelity. That was how she stabbed him in the chest and killed him. There was no struggle between them. Their two children were taken away by the wife’s mother. She has a three-month-old baby.”

However in her statement at the police station, the housewife claimed she acted in self defence, as a source noted that the Lagos State indigene claimed that her husband was the aggressor.

“The woman said the deceased called her mobile phone sometime in the evening, but she missed the call. When he came back home around 1am on Saturday, he queried her whereabouts when he called her phone. He accused her of infidelity and charged at her with a knife. She then picked the kitchen knife and stabbed him in self-defence" the source said.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti who confirmed the incident, said that the housewife who was arrested by policemen from the Lion Building division, had reportedly been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.

Very true

Hmmmmm

Why do people never learn? Nowadays, marriages are fastly becoming one of the leading causes of death of men and women in Nigeria. Be careful who you get hooked up with my dear nairalanders to avoid stories that touch.

Ifeneme
Marriage Don dey sour.
But not my portion at all.

Fear Yoruba women.

A lot of them are very vengeful, that's why their men hardly marry them these days.

Hell hath no fury. A lot of people can't handle the emotion of jealousy.

Wonders shall never end. May God save us from killer wife and husband.

They had issues many times and my son reported her to me. I told them to go their separate ways, but people said I should not come between them

Na this kind thing dey tire me for naija matter.

Separate if he/she is a threat to your life but they will say NO.

Now the guy is dead, the woman will go to prison and the children will become orphans. SMH

They had issues many times and my son reported her to me. I told them to go their separate ways, but people said I should not come between them

Where are those people now?
Divorce is always an option. If it's not working, leave and live.

Now death has come between them.
A jail term would also come between her and the kids.

another one!

Chai, afonja again!

Terrible.

We have been told that No Society will Flourish without Empowering Girls but the little power women have, see how they are abusing it.

Na them again

this is part of what u get when u dont get to know ur partner so well..................... trust issues everywhere!!!!!!!!!!! one thing ladies always fail to understand is that very very few men dont cheat....as far ur ur hubby respect u and dont show it to ur face why dont u play ur part of being a good wife, pray and leave every other thing to God................u cant stop a man from cheating..........my opinion tho........nobody should come for me mbok

This your comment fear me ooo. Your village people are after you seriously. Go for 21 days fasting.

Dead men tell no tales, we would have heard is own version. He must have seen signs of violence in her, but i believe he endured because of the kids and "what people will say". No where in the bible is it stated that marriage is for better for worse, its a human doctrine. Bro, sis run for your life if you notice violence in your partner.

The clothes didn't get to omoye on time. Omoye is already dancing naked in the market square.

Hmmmm

Marriage should be mutual understanding. So pathetic

eyaah, mheen this is flabagasted

Wives With Knives

I am happy for the man, he can now rest and be free from all accusations and suspicions even when there is nothing going on.

Women can drive you into depression. Same thing I was dealing with for years until I slid into subtle depression as per my doctor.

Still fighting to get out of that.
