A woman aged 27 has been arrested by the police for allegedly stabbing to death her husband for attempting to have sex with her at their reunion after three months of separation.
Odunayo allegedly murdered Olamilekan Salahudeen, 35, at their residence in Oko Oba, Oyo town, Oyo State.
Police paraded her alongside 25 other suspects arrested for various crimes, saying Odunayo, who had just reconciled with her husband, murdered him for trying to sleep with her.
“On November 17, 2022, one Ismaila Tijani reported at the Durbar divisional police headquarters that on November 16, 2022, his son, Olamilekan Salaideen, 35, was stabbed to death by his wife, Odunayo,” said Police Public Relations Officer Adewale Osifeso, a Superintendent.
Osifeso spoke when he conducted the parade at the Oyo Police Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, per reporting by The PUNCH.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased and his wife returned to their home at Oko Oba, Oyo town, on the day of the incident after three months of separation.
“The deceased made a move to have sexual intercourse with his wife but was rejected.
“This further led into a struggle and the deceased collected his wife’s phone and smashed it on the ground. In retaliation, the wife stabbed the deceased’s chest, leading to his death.”

Ekiti court jails man for life for raping teenager
An Ado Ekiti High Court on 1 November 2022 sentenced Ilesanmi Adewale, 42, to life imprisonment for raping a 16-year-old girl in Isan Ekiti on 13 February 2021.
Adewale was arraigned on 16 December 2021 after the police investigated the case.
“My father sent me to Iludun Ekiti from Isan Ekiti to bring his ATM card and the N8,000 he kept at home,” the victim recounted in her statement to the police.
“On my way back to Isan, I boarded a commercial driver’s car; I was alone with him in the car. He first touched my breast and I cautioned him to stop it.
“On getting to a bush between Isan and Iludun, when he stopped the car, I opened the door and ran away. He pursued, caught me and carried me on his shoulder to a nearby bush.
“He threatened to kill me with the cutlass [machete] in his hand if I refused to cooperate. He removed my pants and forcibly had sexual intercourse with me. I bit his hands and tore his clothes as I cried, but he refused to leave me.
“Then, he collected my father’s ATM card and N8,000 from me. When he returned them to me, he begged me not to tell my father.
“But as I got back to the road, I saw my father on a motorcycle. I narrated what happened to him; the driver was arrested and later taken to a police station.”
Police Prosecutor Folashade Alli called three witnesses and tendered as evidence the victim’s pants, a machete, a medical report and Adewale’s statements, among other exhibits.
Adewale spoke through his counsel and called no witnesses.
“The crime of rape of a minor is assuming a frightening dimension in this jurisdiction. I cannot contradict the terms imposed by the law,” Justice Monisola Abodunde said in her judgment.
“The mandatory provision is that once a defendant is convicted of rape, he is liable to imprisonment for life.
“Based on the above reasoning and in strict adherence with the provisions of the law, I have no alternative than to sentence the defendant to life imprisonment and I so hold.”
