A teacher, Abimbola Olamide, has been arrested by policemen from the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly stabbing her husband, Dare Akinbobola, to death at their residence in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
The sad event happened between the couple on Wednesday, which degenerated into a fight.
In the ensuing brawl, Olamide was said to have stabbed her 28-year-old husband with a knife, killing him in the process.
In a video clip of her confessional statement, which went viral on Thursday, the mother of two said she acted in self defence.
The sobbing suspect said: “I didn’t kill him intentionally. He was always battering me. Today, he pinned me down and started beating me again. .
I picked the knife to scare him, but I mistakenly stabbed him. I couldn’t have killed my husband intentionally. In the past, I used to run out of the house when being beaten, but today, he locked everywhere to prevent my escape. .
My family have told me to divorce him but I didn’t want to, because he is the husband of my youth and we already have two children together. You can ask around, everyone knows he beats me always.”
The Police Public Relation Officer, Lagos State Police Command, SP Chike Oti, confirmed the incident.
He said, “It is another case of spousal killing in which the suspect stabbed her husband in the neck and the man bled to death.
“The corpse has been recovered for autopsy. Meanwhile, the suspect has been arrested and taken to the SCIID, Yaba, for further investigation.”
