A 47 years old woman, Olanshile Nasirudeen, has been apprehended by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command for stabbing her 51 years old husband to death.
The suspect was arrested, following a distress call received by the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Obalende Divisional Headquarters, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
The suspect, who is a co-butcher with the deceased, was said to have sighted a woman who her husband recently impregnated at the abattoir, and started questioning the woman about her audacity to get pregnant for her husband.
That was said to have led to a hot argument between her and the deceased, as a result of which the suspect picked a knife, and stabbed the deceased at the back joint of his left leg, thereby, cutting one of his veins.
He was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital for first aid, and later transferred to Ijebu Ode General Hospital where he eventually gave up the ghost while receiving treatment, due to excessive bleeding.
Upon the distress call, the SP Murphy Salami, led his men to the scene, but the suspect had fled before their arrival.
She was subsequently traced, and eventually arrested in her hideout at Mobalufon area of Ijebu Ode.
On interrogation, the suspect, who happened to be the fourth wife of the deceased, claimed that it was her husband who first slapped her simply because she asked his new wife her mission at her market stand.
The corpse of the deceased had been released to the family for burial after the autopsy had been conducted.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to homicide section of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department, for discreet investigation and prosecution.
