A young wife has 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.
