Wife stabs husband to death for accusing her of adultery
Ogun police had earlier announced that they are on a case of a young wife who stabbed her husband of eight years to death for allegedly accusing her of adultery despite having two children between them.
An eyewitness disclosed that Iyanu Adedeji, 22, and Funsho Jimoh, 28, had an argument in their home in the Ghonogun area of Abeokuta when he accused her of extramarital affairs.
“In the process of the fight,” the source said, Mrs Iyanu, inflicted a wound on her husband’s chest with a domestic knife.
“She rushed him to the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, where the doctor on duty confirmed him dead.”
Odutola confirmed the incident as well as the detention of the suspect.
She disclosed that Iyanu reported herself to the Divisional Police Station in the area after the tragedy.
“On December 30, 2024, at about 12:15pm, one Iyann Adedeji, a 22-year-old female residing at No. 3 Ifelodun Street, Unity Estate, Gbonagun, reported to the police station with a vehicle containing the body of her husband, Azeez Funsho Jimoh, a 28-year-old male who also lived at the same address,” Odutola said.
“According to her, the deceased was her husband of eight years, with two children, one of whom is deceased.
“She stated that the deceased accused her of having an extramarital affair, leading to a physical altercation between them that morning. During the scuffle, the suspect allegedly inflicted a wound on the deceased’s chest with a domestic knife.
“Afterward, she rushed him to the Federal Medical Centre in Idi Aba, where medical professionals pronounced him dead.
“The suspect is currently in custody. Detectives visited the scene of the incident and recovered the knife.
“A preliminary investigation is underway, and the case will soon be handed over to the SCID for a more thorough investigation.”
Odutola quoted the state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, as urging couples to avoid heated arguments and instead seek peaceful ways to resolve conflicts in their relationships.
