A 47 year-old father of five, Lateef Jimoh, on Friday 7th stabbed his
wife Olufunmilayo Amudat to death at their Omoniyi Estate home in Akure,
Ondo state.
The former banker turned taxi driver committed suicide by
hanging himself shortly after the killing.
Neighbors disclosed
that a court had dissolved the couple's 16-year-old marriage just two
weeks ago and that Funmilayo who was a trader came to pack her
belongings when she was murdered by her husband who had begged her not
to leave him but she refused.
One of the children of the
deceased discovered the gruesome scene after returning from school and
raised an alarm. Both bodies were taken to the Ijapo police station
after some men from the Deji of Akure's palace brought down the dangling
body and the rope, having conducted some appeasement rites. Five
children now orphans.
