Ezekiel Igbokwe, a
32-year-old businessman, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command,
for allegedly murdering his wife’s lover, Victor Olatundun, after he caught
them having sex on his own bed at his residence at Peace Lodge located on Itura
Street, Awa Ijebu, Ijebu-North Local Government Area of the state.
Punch reports that
Igbokwe caught the adulterous duo at 12am on Wednesday, July 27, 2016, and was
arrested the following day.
Igbokwe who was was
paraded at the State Police Command headquarters, Eleweran Abeokuta, alongside
his 28-year-old wife, Juliet, explained to journalists that he had returned
from a business trip to Onitsha when he met Olatundun on top of his wife on
their matrimonial bed.
Filled with anger,
Igbokwe said he quickly picked up a machete he kept in his toilet and gave the
victim cuts on his neck and hand and he died as he was being rushed to the
hospital.
“I am a businessman
and I deal in electronics. I was born in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State. I travelled to
Onitsha on July 25, and when I came back on July 27, I met a man inside my room
making love to my wife.
Then we started
fighting. The man was stronger than me. When I saw he could overpower me, I got
a cutlass in my toilet and dealt him blows in the hand and neck. On the way to
the hospital, the fuel in the car finished and he died.”
He further claimed
that he had never met Olatundun before, and that he never suspected that his
wife and mother of three children was having an extra-marital affair with
anyone.
On her part, the
weeping Juliet, who said she sold snuff and that Olatundun was her supplier,
had been pressurising her for a relationship for some time and her explanations
that she was a married woman fell on deaf ears.
“He had been
disturbing me that he wanted to marry me, but I said I was married. On the day
of the incident, I really can’t say if he used a charm on me. All I know is
that he called me that he wanted to see me and I told him not to come; he knew
my house and when he came, I didn’t know what happened."
"He used to
come and deliver snuff to me in the house. On the day of the incident, he told
me he was coming from somewhere and that it was already late. He wanted to
sleep in our place till the next day.
He didn’t know that
my husband was away. He tried to sleep with me. I got married to my husband in
2005 and we have been having turbulent times as he does not take care of me and
the children. He always beat me and would leave me and the children for
months."
What would you do if you caught your wife with her lover on your
bed having sex?»
